- To make the stuffing. Boil the carrots in water fro one minute, then refresh.
- Cut the peppers into strips and boil in the same way. With the blade of a knife, flatten the prunes and the apricots.
- Spread the meat with mustard and then fill the inside with alternate layers of diced ham, peppers, prunes, apricots and carrots.
- Press down on the meat tightly to make sure that all the ingredients are held in tightly; wrap if necessary in aluminium foil and place in an oven at 190 degrees.
- In the pan containing the onion pieces. Add 100ml of water and 100ml of orange juice to this. This should take around an hour and 15 minutes.
