  • Meanwhile, to prepare the pork, take the meat off the chop bones, cut into 1 cm cubes and place in a bowl. Add grape seed oil, cumin seeds, lemon zest, anchovies, and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Place fry pan over medium high heat. Add cubed pork and marinade ingredients and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes. When almost done, add dates and muscat and stir to combine. Remove from heat, season and set aside.
