Enhance your dinner menu with a sophisticated and delicious stuffed pork loin roast. This gourmet dish is not only visually appealing but also a delightful symphony of flavors.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or as needed 10 white mushrooms, minced 1 shallot, minced 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried sage 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 cups fresh spinach 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 2-pound pork tenderloin, butterflied and pounded flat 4 slices prosciutto 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps to Create a Memorable Meal

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This ensures the roast will cook evenly and achieve the desired temperature.

Make the Filling: In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced mushrooms, shallot, thyme, garlic powder, sage, black pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are soft—about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for another minute. Mix in the fresh spinach until wilted (estimated 5 minutes).

Prepare the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin on a work surface. Lay the prosciutto over it. Spread the mushroom-spinach filling over the prosciutto, reserving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Roll the pork tightly around the filling and secure it with kitchen string. Ensure the filling stays compact and doesn’t spill out during cooking.

Sear the Tenderloin: In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Place the rolled pork tenderloin in the hot oil and sear until all sides are golden brown—about 10 minutes.

Roast the Pork: Transfer the seared pork to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C)—approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips and Variations

For an extra burst of flavor, you can:

Infuse your marinade with more herbs and spices. Rosemary and rosemary pairs well with the pork.

Experiment with different fillings, like using a combination of cranberries and walnuts for a sweeter touch.

Add some sliced shallots and slices of dried apricots for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
