Description
A straightforward recipe for preparing a pork loin stuffed with herbs and breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it horizontally almost all the way through, leaving one side attached so it opens like a book.
- In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Stir in the chicken broth until the mixture is moist but not soggy.
- Season the inside of the pork loin with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the inside surface.
- Roll the pork loin tightly and secure it with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals. Rub the outside of the roast with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the roast in a roasting pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) is reached.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute spinach or mushrooms for some of the parsley in the stuffing.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness accurately.
