Ingredients

  

  • 80 ounce(s) pork loin, trimmed (3-5 lbs.)
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup(s) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon(s) butter
  • 4 to 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped finely
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) paprika
  • 33/100 teaspoon(s) onion powder
  • 1 1/2 floz water (or as needed)
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) sage, garlic powder and other seasonings ( to sprinkle on roast)
  • 1/2 finely chopped bell pepper (optional variation)

Instructions

 

  • Using a boning knife, cut the pork loin by holding the knife at an angle, and in a spiral fashion “unroll” the meat by slicing thinly lengthwise and continuously along the side.
  • You will be working your way to the center of the loin and will be cutting one continuous strip of meat until there is none left to cut.
  • Cut as thinly as possible.
  • If desired, use a meat pounder to make the resulting pork roll into a thinner slab.
  • When done, the result will be a thin, rectangular slab of pork which you will be able to fill with stuffing and roll up jelly-roll style.
  • Wash the parsley well, pat dry and chop finely.
  • Saute chopped onion in butter 2 minutes, add garlic and saute 2 minutes more.
  • Add parsley and leave for one more minute.
  • Stir in bread crumbs and other seasonings, mixing well.
  • Stir in enough water to make a coherent mass.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool 10-15 minutes.
  • Spray or rub both sides of the pork loin with a good quality olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, sage, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
  • If desired, season the inside of the roast with rosemary, basil and oregano.
  • Place the pork on a flat surface and pat the filling out spreading it over top (this will be the inside) of the entire surface of the pork.
  • Take one of the short ends and begin rolling this edge toward the center, a little bit at a time, continuing to roll up (jelly-roll style) until the pork loin is log shaped, with a stuffing spiral on each end.
  • Sprinkle the top with paprika and other seasonings and set in a roasting pan.
  • Set in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 325 degrees and roast until done, spraying every 30 minutes or so with olive oil spray.
  • Internal temperature should read 165 degrees.
