Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear pork, in batches, for 5 mins or until browned. Remove from heat. Add onions and cook for 3 mins or until browned. Return pork to pot then add 2 tbsp flour and cook for 1 min. Add wine, garlic, fennel seeds and crushed bouillon cubes. Add pureed apricots and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add parsnip and simmer, covered, for 25 mins more or until vegetables and pork are tender. Add remaining apricots.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Combine remaining flour and baking powder. Cut in butter then add thyme. Whisk milk and 1 egg then add to flour mixture. Mix until just combined then knead until smooth. Shape into a 2/3 inch thick disc and cut 12 - 2 inch discs. Arrange over pork mixture, brush tops with remaining whisked egg then bake, uncovered, for 25 mins or until biscuits are golden and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 mins before serving.
