Recipe ~ Herb Stuffed Pork Loin

I made the yummiest pork roast for my dad's birthday and I have to share the recipe with you. It smelled so good cooking today and it tasted even better :)


Filling:

1 Tbsp fresh finely chopped sage
1 Tbsp fresh finely chopped thyme
1/2 tsp dried crushed rosemary
4 green onions chopped finely
3 large cloves garlic minced
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 heaping tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp sea salt
freshly ground peppercorns to taste
2-3 lb. pork loin roast

Preheat oven to 350*F.
Combine the first 9 ingredients together in a small bowl.


Now butterfly your roast by cutting it in half but not all the way through! You want it to open up like a book :) Spread your filling on one half of the roast and then starting from the side of your roast with no filling on it roll it up and then tie it tightly with some butcher's twine or string like in the very first photo. Don't worry if some of your filling squeezes out, you can push it back in or just put it on the top of your roast. Once you have your roast all tied up you can give it one more dusting of salt and pepper and place it in your roasting pan with one cup of water. This will make it super moist :) I cover my roaster with tinfoil before I put the lid on to so that I can keep all of the steam and juice inside the pot to make sure it stays moist. Bake for about 2 1/2 hours or till well done at an internal temp of 170*F. I think it took mine just a tad over the 2 1/2 hours to reach the right temp. When it's done you will have a beautiful roast and the herbs infuse the meat so you get the wonderful herb flavor throughout the meat not just in the center :)

Enjoy,
