GREEK STUFFED PROSCIUTTO & FIG JAM PORK LOIN ROLL RECIPE - (4/5)



Greek Stuffed Prosciutto & Fig Jam Pork Loin Roll Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 11

PAN SAUCE:
3 to 4 pound pork loin roast, butterflied (your butcher can do this for you)
Kosher salt & fresh cracked black pepper
3 to 4 slices prosciutto
1 jar fig jam (easily found at most grocery stores)
1 cup Greek feta cheese, crumbled
Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (or fresh spinach, washed and dried)
2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
1/2 cup Ruby Red Port Wine (or any red wine)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 pat unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Lay the butterflied pork loin roast flat and season with kosher salt & fresh cracked black pepper. Spread an even layer of fig jam (I used about 3/4 of a jar) evenly over the pork loin roast, leaving about a 1-inch edge (to allow for rolling). Sprinkle the thinly sliced garlic on top. Reduce the garlic to one clove, if you don't want it to dominate the overall flavor-- 2 cloves is a lot! Add the prosciutto slices on top. Sprinkle or lay feta cheese on top. If you are using frozen, thawed spinach (which I did), be sure that it is squeezed very dry. You can use a tea towel or I use a potato ricer to do this job. Fresh spinach will make an even prettier presentation, if you have it. Carefully roll the pork loin and tie with kitchen string. In an ovenproof large and deep skillet, heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the skillet. Sear the roast for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Note: Once I did this, I allowed the meat and pan to cool and then set it, covered, in the refrigerator. The next evening, I brought this to room temperature for about an hour, and then proceeded to roasting. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set the entire skillet into the oven and roast for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the roast from the pan, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for about 15 minutes. PAN SAUCE: On Medium-High, bring the drippings in the skillet to be very hot. Carefully add the Ruby Red Port Wine into the pan, scraping off the browned bits on the bottom. Add the chicken stock and allow the sauce to reduce to almost half (about 10 minutes or so). Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the unsalted butter. Taste and add more salt & pepper, if desired. TO PLATE: Remove the kitchen twine and slice roughly 1-inch thick. Drizzle the pan sauce around the pork and a little on top. Perfect side dish would be a nice Orzo, with a little olive oil or roasted asparagus.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking and prevent dryness, it's crucial to use dry bread cubes. Fresh bread contains too much moisture, which can result in soggy stuffing. For best results, opt for day-old bread that has had time to dry out.
  • For a flavorful and aromatic stuffing, toast the bread cubes before mixing them with other ingredients. This simple step enhances the bread's flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the stuffing.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. While classic white bread is a popular choice, you can also use hearty whole wheat, nutty rye, or flavorful sourdough bread for a unique twist.
  • Fresh herbs and spices not only add flavor but also elevate the aroma of the stuffing. Consider using thyme, sage, rosemary, or parsley for a classic herb stuffing. For a more vibrant flavor profile, incorporate spices like paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Vegetables not only add texture and color to the stuffing but also enhance its nutritional value. Feel free to mix in diced carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, or even dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for a sweet-savory combination.
  • Cheese lovers can rejoice! Grated Parmesan, sharp cheddar, or creamy goat cheese can be incorporated into the stuffing for an extra layer of flavor and richness. Just make sure not to overdo it, as too much cheese can overpower the other ingredients.
  • For a crispy top and moist interior, it's recommended to bake the stuffing uncovered for the first half of the cooking time. This allows the top to brown and develop a delightful crust. Cover the stuffing during the second half to prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Fig and prosciutto stuffing is a culinary masterpiece that combines the sweetness of figs, the savory richness of prosciutto, and the comforting warmth of bread. Follow these tips and you'll create a stunning side dish that will steal the show at any holiday gathering. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to make it your own, and enjoy the symphony of textures and tastes that this exceptional stuffing has to offer.
