STUFFED ROAST PORK

Steps:

• For the filling, either put all the ingredients in a small food processor and blend until well combined - the mixture doesn't have to be completely smooth - or pound with a pestle and mortar. Season with salt and pepper. Lay the pork out, skin-side down, and rub the filling over the meat. Roll it up as tightly as you can and secure at intervals with butcher's string. If you have time, leave the pork in the fridge, uncovered or loosely wrapped in kitchen paper, overnight - or even better, for 2 nights. This gives the flavours time to permeate the meat and allows the skin to dry out. An hour before you are ready to start cooking the pork, remove it from the fridge so it can come up to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 150°C/Fan 130°C/Gas 2. Arrange the potatoes and onion slices on the base of a large roasting tin and season with salt. Pour over the white wine or cider and the stock or water. Make sure the rind of the pork is dry and season it with salt. Place the pork on top of the potatoes and onions. Cover it with foil and put in the oven. Roast for 4 hours until the pork is cooked through. Check with a meat thermometer if you have one - the internal temperature should read 68°C. Turn the oven up to its highest setting and cook for a further half an hour to crisp up the skin. Remove from the oven and transfer the meat and potatoes to separate serving dishes. Leave the meat to rest for half an hour, uncovered, but keep the potatoes warm.

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, add olive oil, sliced leeks and mushrooms and saute' until the leeks are tender, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
• Let cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor and process until the leeks and mushrooms are finely chopped.
• Add bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and parsley and process just to blend.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut each tenderloin lengthwise about 3/4 of the way through the thickness of the meat.
• Open meat like a book and using a food mallet, flatten each tenderloin to about 1/2 inch thickness.
• Divide the stuffing mixture in half and cover each tenderloin with the stuffing mixture, pressing it firmly into an even layer over the entire surface of the meat.
• Beginning at one of the shorter ends, roll the tenderloin up to enclose the stuffing.
• Tie each rolled tenderloin with kitchen string in at least 3 places to secure the roll.
• Brush each tenderloin with mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place tenderloins side by side in a small roasting pan.
• Roast in preheated 350 F oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 155°F.
• Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into spirals about 3/4 inch thick.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise.

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, shallot, thyme, garlic powder, sage, black pepper, and salt in the hot oil until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms and shallots are softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add parsley; cook and stir for 1 minute. Mix in spinach; cook and stir until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard. Remove from heat.
• Place pork tenderloin on a work surface; lay prosciutto atop tenderloin. Spread mushroom-spinach mixture over prosciutto, leaving 1/2-inch border on all sides. Tightly roll tenderloin around the filling and tie together with kitchen string to keep closed.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; place rolled tenderloin in the hot oil. Sear until all sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer seared tenderloin to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
