  • Heat half the oil in a casserole over a high heat, and season the meat before frying for 4 mins, and removing to a plate. Reduce the heat, add the remaining oil and soften the onions for 8 mins, then add the garlic to fry for 2 mins more. Add the flour and sage, and cook for a minute before turning up the heat and pouring in the cider or wine. Let it bubble away for 4 mins, then return the pork to the pan. Season well, and simmer for 10 mins.
