Best Italian Stuffed Pork Loin With Olive Relish Recipes

BALSAMIC ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Dissolve steak seasoning in balsamic vinegar, then stir in olive oil. Place pork into a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade overtop. Squeeze out air and seal bag; marinate 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pork into a glass baking dish along with marinade. Bake in preheated oven, basting occasionally until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

PORCHETTA (ITALIAN GARLIC AND HERB STUFFED PORK LOIN)

Steps:

• Step 1: Place the garlic, sage, rosemary, salt, pepper, fennel seeds, and orange zest in a food processor and finely chop them. Add in the lemon juice and enough olive oil to obtain a thick paste.

Using a long slender sharp knife, cut through from 1 side of the loin almost to the other side about 3/4 inch from the bottom. Roll open the pork. Continue cutting and unrolling the loin until you have a flat piece of pork that's evenly 3/4 inch thick. Generously spread the inside of the pork with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the herb paste and roll the loin back together so it's once again cylindrical. Generously spread the outside of the loin with more herb paste. Don't forget to coat the ends. The loin should be coated with a 1/8-inch-thick layer of paste. Set any left over paste aside for another use. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 3: Preheat the oven to 375°F. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 4: Tie up the stuffed loin: Arrange the 4 pieces of butcher's string going east to west on a work surface parallel to one another, each 1 inch or so apart. (Both ends of the loin should extend about 1 inch beyond the strings when they're tied.) Place 1 strip of pancetta down the center of the strings so that it is perpendicular (lay it north to south) to them. Arrange 2 more strips of pancetta parallel to and on either side of the first strip. Arrange the loin lengthwise on top of the middle strip of pancetta. Arrange the remaining strip of pancetta lengthwise on top of the loin. Pull the ends of each string up over the loin and tie them tightly together to hold the pancetta and loin in place. Put the pork loin in a roasting pan. ShareTweetPin1K Shares Step 5: Roast the pork until sizzling and brown on the outside and cooked to taste, 1 to 1 1/2 hours for medium. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the side of the loin; when done to medium the internal temperature should be 160°F, medium-well 175°F. As the loin cooks, from time to time spoon any juices that gather in the bottom of the roasting pan over the meat.

Serve the porchetta by itself (more formal) or pile it onto ciabatta rolls along with olive relish and caramelized onions. ShareTweetPin1K Shares

ITALIAN STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• If you are using the large tenderloin from Costco, cut it almost in half, then cut the halves almost in half again so that you kind of unfold it a few times and try to pound it out flat to about 1/2" thickness or slightly thinner. (If you are using a smaller pork tenderloin, cut almost in half and pound it flat).
• Once the tenderloin is flat and has a good surface area, spread the cream cheese all over the top. Lay the roasted red peppers over the cream cheese then sprinkle on the crumbled bacon. Evenly sprinkle on the packages dried pesto seasoning and lay the spinach leaves all over the top.
• Roll the pork up (like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls) and tie it shut with 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen twine if needed. Next, rub olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper all over the pork and place in a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350-degrees about 60-90 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Once cooked, slice and serve!
• **This makes quite a lot. After rolling, but before baking, cut it into thirds or fourths. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze!

OLIVE AND MEDJOOL DATE STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a slicing knife, make an incision parallel to the cutting board into the pork loin (butterfly). The incision should run from end to end lengthwise, and leave about 1/2 inch of the pork loin intact opposite the side of the incision. You should be left with the pork loin opened into about an 8-by-10-inch piece.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sausage, olives, dates and shallots. Mix in the cream, breadcrumbs and egg yolk, and finish with the parsley. Season with the za'atar and some salt and pepper.
• Stuff the pork loin by spreading the mixture down one side of the opened loin and folding over the other half. You should leave about 1/2 inch of extra space for the ends of the pork to seal again, keeping the filling centered. Cut 8 long pieces of butcher's twine and tie the loin together to form it back to its original shape.
• Put the loin on a roasting rack in a pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes. Rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing. You should have 8 even slices from the roast.

STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat margarine in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and celery in the hot margarine until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl. Stir bread into vegetables until moistened; season with salt and black pepper.
• Cut the pork loin almost in half lengthwise, cutting to about 1 inch from the bottom; open pork loin like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and lightly pound with a meat mallet to flatten the meat. Spoon stuffing onto the pork loin, roll the meat over the stuffing, and tie pork loin together in three places using kitchen twine.
• Place tied loin into a roasting pan and pour about 3 tablespoons water around the roast. Season roast with salt, black pepper, thyme, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder.
• Roast stuffed pork loin until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Rest meat for 15 minutes before untying and slicing.

ROLLED PORK LOIN ROAST STUFFED WITH OLIVES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Set the loin on a cutting board with one of the short, cut ends facing you. With a sharp knife, make a lengthwise horizontal cut, about a third of the way up one of the long sides, like asymmetrically splitting open a hot dog bun. Don't cut all the way through, but nearly-far enough so that you can open up the roast like a book. If you started on the right, the left side will now be twice as thick as the right. At the hinge where they meet, make another horizontal cut midway up the left (thicker) side, so that you can open the roast again, like a magazine gatefold. Sprinkle the pork all over with the salt and pepper and set it aside.
• Heat the oven to 425°F and make the stuffing by mixing all the remaining ingredients together (except the cooking oil). Spread the stuffing over the cut side of the pork loin, then roll it up and back into shape. Using cotton string, bind the roast with six little string belts.
• Heat a skillet to high, add the cooking oil, and then carefully lay in the pork roast. Brown the roast on all sides and then put the skillet in the oven. Roast until it is just cooked through, about 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it rest on a platter in a warm place for 10 minutes. Remove the strings, slice, and serve.

ITALIAN STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Line a jelly roll pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

• Blend tomato-basil mixture with ricotta cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Rinse the tenderloin and pat dry. Slice the loin horizontally,nearly, but not all the way through. The roast should open like a book.
• Pound the meat with a mallet, to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Lay the meat on three to four lengths of twine.
• Spread a thick layer of filling over the meat, leaving a one inch border around the edges.
• Starting at the long edge, roll the meat, tucking the ragged edges into the roll. Secure with twine. Place on prepared jelly roll pan.
• Sprinkle roast lightly with garlic salt and italian seasoning.
• Bake until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
• Let rest 5-10 minutes after baking, then slice, removing the twine as you go.
