  • 275ml chicken stock
  • Preheat the oven to 200C, add a glug of oil to a casserole and cook the onions and garlic for 5 mins. Season the pork and roll in the thyme leaves, then push the onion mix to one side of the casserole and add a knob of butter. Brown the pork all over.
  • Stir in the figs and one glass of marsala, add the rest of the butter and cover the lot with a sheet of greaseproof paper. Place the casserole in the oven for 20 mins, then remove the paper and cook for 40 mins more. Remove the pork to a plate to rest for 15 mins.
