Mushroom and Herb Stuffed Pork Loin
An elegant and flavorful stuffed pork loin featuring a savory mushroom and herb filling. Perfect for a dinner party or a special occasion meal.
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb Pork Loin
- 8 oz Cremini Mushrooms
- 1/2 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Dry White Wine
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Prepare the Mushroom Filling
Finely chop the mushrooms and onion. Mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid. Add the thyme and rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until the wine has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Butterfly the Pork Loin
Carefully butterfly the pork loin by slicing it horizontally along one side, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book. You can also ask your butcher to do this for you.
Stuff the Pork Loin
Spread the mushroom and herb filling evenly over the butterflied pork loin. Roll the pork loin tightly and secure it with kitchen twine.
Sear and Roast
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Sear the pork loin in a hot skillet with olive oil until browned on all sides. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Rest and Serve
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
