2 tablespoons of sunflower oil (to sear the meat)
120 ml / 4 fluid oz creme fraîche (or heavy whipping cream)
optional for the meat glaze: use the juices from the macerated the prunes. baste the meat and glaze under the grill ( just enough time to crisp up the top of the meat.) repeat the basting process 3 times for best result.
