Ingredients
  • 2-3 lb Pork Loin
  • 10 oz Fresh Spinach
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Prepare the Spinach Filling

Wash and chop the spinach. Sauté the garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in the feta cheese, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.

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 spinach and feta 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.
