Peel, core and very finely chop the apple and place in a bowl. Add the cranberries and brown sugar and mix well.
Make a pocket in the eye of the meat of each pork cutlet. Push the apple mixture into each pocket and press the meat to seal. Use a toothpick to secure.
Cook the farro in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 20-30 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, drain again.
Place the pomegranate molasses, garlic, lemon zest and juice and spices in a bowl and whisk together. Gradually whisk in the olive oil and season.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Rub the pork cutlets with a little oil. Add 25g butter to the pan and when sizzling place the pork cutlets in the pan. Cook for 8 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a warmed plate and cover loosely with foil.
Pour the apple juice into the hot pan and allow to boil up. Whisk in the remaining butter, season and pour a little bit over the pork cutlets.
Mix together the well drained farro and herbs and moisten with tremaining dressing. Gently toss through the beetroot and carrot and serve in a big bowl.
Serve alongside the plate of cutlets.
