- knob of butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red onion

Take 450g pork fillet (1 large or 2 smaller halves), make an incision along the length(s) and stuff with the chestnut mixture. Tie with kitchen string, at intervals, along the length of the pork fillet.
- 3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan, brown the pork on all sides, then transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes.
- 4. Fry some sage leaves in butter until crisp. Slice the pork and garnish with the crispy sage leaves.
