Method
Soak the sliced apricots in the white wine vinegar, calavados, some olive oil and some sage for 1 hour.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Pan-fry the pork loin steaks very lightly on both sides. Add the garlic, mustard, wine and vegetable stock, lemon juice, sage, salt and pepper and apricots. Reduce by a half and allow to simmer for up to 5 minutes (longer depending on thickness of steak).
Mix all the coleslaw ingredients in a large bowl. Season, cover and chill in the fridge if you have time.
Serve the pork on a bed of coleslaw and the apricots on top with the remaining sauce in the pan drizzled over. Add some sage leaves to garnish.
