Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (3 to 4 lb) boneless pork loin
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- Kitchen twine (for tying)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book and flatten slightly with a meat mallet.
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Spread the stuffing evenly over the pork loin, then roll it up tightly and secure with kitchen twine.
- Rub the outside with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Place in a roasting pan and roast for 60–75 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness.
- You can substitute other fillings like mushrooms, onions, or different cheeses.
- Letting the pork rest after roasting helps retain juices.
