Stuffed Pork Loin Involtini (Rolled Pork Loin)

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5-3.0 lb Pork End Loin Roast butterflied
  • 3 slices of white bread
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup of shredded fontina cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of shredded spinach
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped Italian Parsley
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Pinch of Nutmeg
  • Butcher/Cooking Twine
  • Olive oil for searing

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Butterfly the pork loin roast. (the butcher can do this for you if you do not know how and ask him/her to flatten it out if possible)
  • In a bowl soak the bread for about 15 minutes. Drain out the excess liquid and mix in the eggs, cheeses, spinach, parsley, nutmeg and salt and pepper if desired. Mix together to form a bread stuffing.
  • Lay out the pork loin on a cutting board cut side up. Place half the stuffing along the middle/top portion of the loin leaving about a 1/4" each side. Roll the loin once over and then add more stuffing and roll again. Tie each end tight with butcher twine and then another 4 sections down the middle. Tuck in any stuffing that escapes.
  • In a large saute pan sear the meat on all sides. Place in a roasting dish and cover with aluminum foil. Roast 30 minutes per pound. Every 30 minutes turn the roast over. You should end up with the top side at the end. During the last 30 minutes pour the Vermouth over the top of the loin. Continue to roast uncovered until fully cooked. Remove from the oven and let rest before slicing.

Notes

Note: Remember stuffed meat takes longer so be sure your meat and stuffing are fully cooked by using a meat thermometer.
SUBSTITUTES: Substitute pork with beef or turkey breast.
