Ingredients
- 1 pork loin, about 2-3 pounds
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Kitchen twine or toothpicks for securing the pork
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add mushrooms and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Prepare the Pork Loin: Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book and pound it gently to an even thickness.
- Stuff the Pork Loin: Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the inside of the pork loin. Roll it tightly from one end to the other and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
- Roast the Pork: Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan. Season the outside with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
