Stuffed pork loin is one of those meals that looks "WOW!" In reality it's pretty simple to make. This pork loin is rolled around a filling of Parmesan cheese and spinach for fabulous flavor. It would be perfect served at your next dinner party, holiday meal or just because!
3clovesgarlicminced (or about ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
¼cupgreen onionssliced
¼cupParmesan cheese
½teaspoonground black pepper
Additional salt and pepper
2Tablespoonsvegetable oilor your favorite cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F
Cut pork loin almost in half, leaving about ¼-inch remaining intact. Lay the pork loin open.
Starting from the center, cut each side almost in half again. It is easier than it sounds, just use a sharp knife and go slow. Open the pork loin up and pound out any high spots.
Squeeze the liquid out of the thawed spinach. Mix it with cream cheese, garlic, green onions, Parmesan and pepper.
Spread over pork loin.
Roll the pork loin tightly.
Heat an oven proof pan and oil on the stove. I used my Dutch oven, but any large pan would do.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper on pork loin, then brown on both sides.
Cover and roast in a 375° F oven for about an hour or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145° F.
Let rest for at least 10 minutes and then slice. It smells so good it will be hard to wait, but it is worth it!
