Fruit & Chestnut Stuffed Loin of Pork
Servings: 8 Servings
Calories: 441kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (4 pound) center-cut pork loin
- 7 feet kitchen or butcher’s twine
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup cooked and peeled chestnuts jarred or vacuum packed, chopped
- 1/3 cup dried apricots chopped
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries chopped
- 8 fresh sage leaves divided use
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grainy gluten-free mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
- Place the pork on a work surface. Hold a long, sharp knife parallel to the work surface and cut the pork almost in half, stopping about ½ inch before cutting all the way through.
- Open the pork loin like a book. Place 6 lengths of twine, 14 inches each, on a work surface about 1 inch apart. Lay the opened pork on the twine.
- Season the inside of the pork generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped chestnuts, apricots, and cranberries. Sprinkle the mixture over the pork leaving about a 1 inch border.
- Lay 6 sage leaves on top of the chestnut and fruit mixture.
- Starting with a long side, roll the pork into a cylinder, overlapping at the top. Tie the pieces of twine, cutting off any excess.
- Mince the remaining sage leaves and mix with the olive oil, mustard, 1½ teaspoons of salt, and ¾ teaspoon of pepper. Spread the mixture over the pork loin.
- Place on a foil lined, rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 145ºF.
- Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let sit for 15-20 minutes before serving.
