Step 1
1. First, prepare a piece of pork, wash it thoroughly, and dry it with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make a cut to create a cavity for the filling. Lightly salt the meat on all sides, and add pepper if desired. Garlic, either pressed or minced, also works very well.

4. Next, there are two ways to prepare stuffed pork with prunes. The first: secure the edges with toothpicks to keep the filling in place, and sear the meat on all sides in a skillet over high heat. The second option, used in this case, is to wrap the meat in thin strips of bacon or ham. Lightly grease the baking tray with vegetable oil, and place the meat into a preheated oven.
