Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

November 8th, 2013 by katie

I’ve missed you guys!  I have always felt like there is no reason to apologize for the time you need away.  We all have lives and sometimes everything is just too much.  I have three busy kids, a full time job, am enrolled in a Master’s degree program and just generally sleep-deprived and busy!  I am not afraid to admit the amount of take-out we eat on a weekly basis right now.  My focus lately has been simple family favorites that don’t take a lot of time, ingredients, or effort.  But I miss you guys and I miss the focus on new ideas and new food.  So here I am with a great fall recipe (stick to your ribs and turn on the oven)!  I have a few new ideas coming up for you guys as well as some Nespresso give-aways.  So stay tuned!  I’m still here and I can’t wait to tell you what’s in store!

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 1 oz dried mushrooms, soaked and chopped
  • 3 cups kale or spinach
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp sun dried tomatoes in oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1 tsp rosemary, minced
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves, minced
  • zest of one lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 2 tbsp oil or butter
  • 1 tbsp honey
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Cut a deep slit lengthwise on the tenderloin from end to end without going all of the way through.  Open the tenderloin and pound out as flat as possible.
  3. Combine mushrooms through pesto in a bowl.  Spread mixture over pounded tenderloin and re-roll.  Tie with kitchen string.
  4. In an oven safe heavy skillet, heat oil or butter and honey over medium heat until browning but not burnt.
  5. Brown tenderloin on all sides.
  6. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake 10 more minutes.

    Are you missing a step? Sd tomato? Cheese? Do you add this to spinach mixture?

  6. Ash

    Just wondering where the mushrooms go? The stuffing seems to be spinach through pesto, but I can’t seem to decide if the mushrooms are a garnish/topping or meant for the stuffing as well.

    Thanks for the article. My spouse and i have often seen that almost all people are desperate to lose weight when they wish to appear slim in addition to looking attractive. However, they do not always realize that there are more benefits for losing weight in addition. Doctors say that obese people are afflicted by a variety of diseases that can be directly attributed to their particular excess weight. The good thing is that people who sadly are overweight in addition to suffering from diverse diseases are able to reduce the severity of their own illnesses by simply losing weight. It’s possible to see a steady but noted improvement with health as soon as even a minor amount of fat reduction is realized.

    I and also my guys have already been examining the nice tips and tricks from your website and so all of the sudden I got a horrible suspicion I had not expressed respect to the website owner for them.
    These guys are already absolutely stimulated to see them and have now
    absolutely been taking pleasure in these things. Thanks for turning out to be very thoughtful and for pick out certain awesome useful
    guides most people are really wanting to understand about.

    My personal sincere apologies for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.

    What is the proper cooking time? Other than browning the meat, I only see a total of 10 min in the oven.
