HERB ROASTED STUFFED PORK LOIN
Steps:
- Chop stuffing ingredients, butterfly pork and pound into about 1 inch stuff and wrap. Roast pork: Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Pat pork dry and season with 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Straddle a flameproof roasting pan over 2 burners, then heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown pork on all sides, then transfer to a large plate. Put a metal rack in pan and arrange half of herbs down middle of rack. Stir together shallots, garlic, mustard, and 1 tablespoon oil and smear over top and sides of roast, then put roast, fat side up, on top of herbs. Roast 1 hour. Toss remaining herbs with remaining teaspoon oil and arrange on top of roast. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 to 145°F, 5 to 15 minutes more (temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees as it rests). Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 25 minutes. Make sauce while pork rests: Remove rack from pan and discard herbs from rack. Straddle pan across 2 burners on medium heat. Add vermouth and mustard and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half. Add broth and simmer 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-cup measure. If you have more than 1 1/2 cups, boil to reduce; if less, add water. Melt butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Whisk in vermouth mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Serve pork with sauce.

PAM'S MUSTARD AND HERB CRUSTED STUFFED PORK LOIN
I like to buy meats in quantity and then cut them down to serving sizes. I found a whole pork loin for $2.19/lb, so I now have three very nice loin roasts for company dinners. When I started to roast this one it was going to be very simple, but my creative side took over and this is what I came up with.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the pork loin by removing any "silver skin" that might be present but leave the fat cap on. Double butterfly the loin as described in step #2.
- 2. 1. Insert chef's knife about 1 inch from bottom of roast and cut horizontally, stopping just before edge. Open meat like a book. 2. Make another cut diagonally into thicker portion of roast. Open up this flap, smoothing out butterflied rectangle of meat. Salt and pepper the cut sides of the roast.
- 3. Mix all crumb ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- 4. Mix Mayonnaise and mustard in another small bowl. Set aside.
- 5. For stuffing, finely chop onion and celery. Heat margarine or butter called for on the box in a medium saucepan and saute the chopped vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add the liquid called for and bring to boil, then add stuffing mix, stir and cover to rest for 5 minutes. Add chopped herbs and stir. If the stuffing is too dry, add some chicken broth or water (listed in gravy ingredients) to moisten so it will stick together when rolling.
- 6. With roast laying flat, place the prepared stuffing over the entire surface, leaving about 1/2" on the edges. Press stuffing to hold it together and start rolling the roast to enclose it. When completely rolled, tie the roast with butchers twine in 5 or 6 places to secure. Push any lost stuffing back into the ends of the roast.
- 7. Place the rolled and tied roast into a Dutch oven with fat side up. Pat dry with a paper towel and spread the mayonnaise and mustard mixture liberally over the surface, trying to cover as much of the roast as possible including sides but not ends.
- 8. Sprinkle a layer of crumb topping over the top of the roast and press lightly to adhere. Use the rest of the crumbs to coat the sides of the roast, patting them in place with your hand or a spoon. Again, cover as much of the roast as possible. Carefully pour about 2/3 c. of water, chicken broth, or dry white wine in the bottom of the Dutch oven around the roast.(Listed in gravy ingredients)
- 9. Roast uncovered at 350° for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until internal temperature is 155-160°. Check several times during roasting to see if you need to add more liquid to the pan. Remove from Dutch oven and place on cutting board to rest for about 15-20 minutes, tented loosely with foil.
- 10. Skim off excess fat from broth and discard. Place Dutch oven on burner over medium heat and add remaining water, broth or wine to pot. Scrape any brown bits up and bring to a boil. Add the slurry of flour and water stirring constantly. Turn down the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened. Slice roast with electric knife for ease of slicing and serve with the gravy.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork by cutting into the center of the loin. The pork is done when the juices run clear.
- Let the pork loin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- For a crispy skin, score the fat cap of the pork loin with a sharp knife before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent it from becoming rubbery.
- If you're short on time, you can cook the pork loin in a slow cooker. Cook the pork loin on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
Conclusion:
Herb-stuffed pork loin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for dinner, lunch, or even breakfast. With its tender meat, flavorful stuffing, and crispy skin, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give herb-stuffed pork loin a try. You won't be disappointed!
