1. Heat grill to high. Grate the zest from half the lemon and squeeze the juice from both halves. Split the pork fillet down the centre, cutting almost all the way through, and open out like a book. Lift onto a baking tray and season with salt, pepper and the lemon zest. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of the sage. Grill for 8-10 mins, turning once, until cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, pour the lemon juice into a small pan. Add the apple to the pan with the remaining sage, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer until soft, about 6 mins. Serve with your favourite green veg and potato wedges (recipe, top right).

Potato wedges

For simple, spicy wedges, cut 2 large potatoes into wedges and toss in 1 tbsp olive oil in a roasting tin. Season with salt and pepper, pinch each chilli, paprika and ground coriander and cook at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 35-40 mins, shaking the pan halfway through the cooking time.

'I loved how the Grilled pork required no oil and could be cooked under the grill - plus there was very little prep work. The sage and apple set off the dish beautifully.'

  I made this as a roast. The potato wedges needed another 10 mins. I loved all the flavours.

  Made this tonight, but used pork loin chops instead. Was really yummy, and the apple on the side was a really good accompaniment. Served it with steamed green beans and roast parsnips, which complimented the pork well.
