Holiday Cooking: Pork Roulade with Prunes

Tamara Novacoviç serves a flavorful combination perfectly suited for the holiday season.
By Tamara Novacoviç

These days are all about cakes and cookies, but something savory has to be served on our holiday tables, right? Here’s one idea for your holiday dish: pork chops filled with prunes and prune sauce to serve over them.

You can ask your butcher to prepare the meat for you in order to fill it easier. Last winter, while in beautiful Prague, my boyfriend and I ate similar dish, only it wasn’t filled with prunes and the sauce was made from berries. I love the combination of dried fruit like prunes and berries with pork or beef. It’s the ultimate pleasure. I don’t eat a lot of meat, but this I love.
Each prune you put into meat is filled with a cube of butter, which ensures its juiciness. The rest of prunes are cooked with sour cream and heavy cream and later pureed to make beautiful sauce that you pour over these chops. I believe this is best served with cooked gnocchi.
