Steps:
- For filling:
- Place dried mushrooms and dried apples in separate small bowls. Add 1 cup boiling water to each bowl. Let mushrooms and apples soak until very soft, about 30 minutes. Strain mushrooms. Cover and chill soaking liquid (about 3/4 cup). Drain apples, discarding soaking liquid. Finely chop mushrooms and apples, combine in a small bowl, and set mushroom and apple mixture aside.
- Meanwhile, blanch kale in boiling salted water just until wilted, about 1 minute. Using tongs, transfer kale to a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate until cool. Remove any large, tough ribs.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until soft and lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and apples; cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, and rosemary; cook for 1 minute. Add brandy and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool completely. Add ground pork and stir to combine well.
- For pork:
- To butterfly, put pork loin on a work surface with short end facing you. Holding a long, thin sharp knife parallel to work surface and beginning along one long side, cut 1/2" above underside of roast. Continue slicing inward, pulling back the meat with your free hand and unrolling the roast like a carpet, until the entire loin is flat. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound to an even thickness.
- Uncover pork. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place kale leaves on top of loin in an even layer, overlapping as needed and leaving a 1" border. Spread filling on top of kale. Roll pork into a tight cylinder. Wrap one layer of prosciutto around roast. Tie roast securely with kitchen twine in 1" intervals. Tuck rosemary sprigs under twine, spacing apart. DO AHEAD: Pork roast can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before continuing.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place apples in a roasting pan. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in a large skillet. Brown pork on all sides, about 5 minutes total, then set on top of apples in pan. Add cider and 1/2 cup water to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits. Pour mixture into roasting pan. Roast pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of loin registers 140°F (it will be cooked medium but still slightly pink), about 1 hour 40 minutes. Let roast rest for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Put roast on a platter. Reserve apples from roasting pan; spoon off fat from juices in pan. Place pan on top of stove over medium-high heat. Add chicken stock. Pour in reserved mushroom liquid, leaving any sediment behind, and cook, scraping bottom of pan to release any browned bits, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain sauce; slice pork. Serve sauce and apples alongside sliced pork.

Steps:
- Blend the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oil in a small food processor, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the garlic is minced.
- Sprinkle the pork roast generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the pancetta slices on a work surface, overlapping slightly and forming a rectangle. Spread half of the garlic mixture over 1 side of the pork and between the 2 loins that meet in the center of the tied pork roast. Place the pork, garlic mixture side down, in the center of the pancetta rectangle. Spread the remaining garlic mixture over the remaining pork. Wrap the pancetta slices around the pork. Place the pork in a roasting pan. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pour 1/2 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of wine into the roasting pan. Add more broth and wine to the pan juices every 20 minutes. Roast the pork until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F for medium-rare, about 1 hour. Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent with aluminum foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Pour the pan drippings into a glass measuring cup and spoon off any fat that rises to the top.
- Using a large sharp carving knife, cut the pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with the pan juices.

Steps:
- Combine the parsley, sage, mustard and shallot in a mini food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped and combined. Add the olive oil and blend to form a paste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Season the pork loin with salt and rub the paste all over it. Lay the prosciutto slices on a piece of parchment paper, shingled in 2 overlapping rows to form a 12-inch square. Place the pork loin in the middle of the prosciutto square. Using the parchment to help you roll, roll the prosciutto up over the loin, pressing firmly to adhere the prosciutto to the loin. Continue to roll until the entire pork loin is tightly covered in prosciutto (the prosciutto should overlap itself). Refrigerate at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, maple syrup, BBQ sauce, star anise, cinnamon stick, orange zest and jalapeño to a simmer. Let cool to room temperature, or overnight in the fridge.
- When you're ready to roast the pork, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the butter, garlic and rosemary in a large, ovenproof saute pan and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Lay the prosciutto-wrapped loin in the pan seam-side down. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the loin reads 120 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Brush the glaze on the loin and continue to roast to 135 degrees F for medium, 10 to 15 minutes more. Allow the meat to rest before slicing, then spoon the pan juices over the pork slices.
MY CHRISTMAS DINNER PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PORK LOIN WITH ROASTED APPLES
As a 17 year old, i was given the honor to create my own dinner for Christmas this year. This is a juicy, decadent pork loin, perfect for a family gathering or even a date. The saltiness from the prosciutto with the soft meat and the sweetness from the apples will surely create fireworks of flavor in every mouth... Enjoy it with hasselback potatoes, rice or if you are a veggie lover some buffalo cauliflower(or any other sauce that isn't salty). Make sure you have some bread to absorb all of the golden sauce that your pork leaves in your plate!(yum)

Steps:
- Start with your filling. Soak the dried mushrooms with boiling water in a bowl for 30-40 mins until soft. Cut the onion and garlic into very small pieces and add them to your medium heated pan without any oil, let them get to the point where they are almost burnt, but not too much.(just to have an ever smokier flavor). Meanwhile, blanch your kale for 5 minutes in another pan on a medium heat, without adding any salt to not lose its color.
- Add your cut kale and white button mushrooms to your pan, followed by the dried mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook everything in your pan with the liquid that the dried mushrooms have been soaking in. If they have absorbed the liquid too soon feel free to add more water(or oil).
- Once they have absorbed that liquid, add your wine and apple sauce. Always taste, add salt and apple sauce if you want more saltiness or sweetness to your filling. Lastly, add your dried rosemary and stir.
- While the filling is cooking you can start with your pork. Cut the pork tenderloin to a flat surface which is fill-able(butterfly cut) or tell your butcher to do it. Season it with salt and pepper. Open a piece of cling film on a flat surface(i recommend a cutting board) and layer the prosciutto pieces on it. Make sure that every piece gets a little space under the previous one to have a balanced pork inside.
- Layer on top your pork, followed by your filling. Now to wrap the pork, pick up the cling film from the upper edge(lengthwise) and bring it to the other edge pushing your filling inside. When the 2 prosciutto edges have found each other, seal the cling film tightly and roll it to a cylinder. Tie the 2 ends of the cling film and let it set to gain its shape in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
- Meanwhile, cut your apples into big chunks and place them in the same tray of the pork. When the loin is set remove it from the cling film, place the rosemary springs on top and tie it with a string. Fry off in a pan on all sides with a bit of olive oil so that it can gain a brown color and be crunchy from the outside(no more than 5 mins).
- To finish,cook the pork with the apples for 35-40 mins if you have a thicker, bigger piece of pork or if you have 2 smaller loins cook for 20-25 mins, both on air. Leave to cool for at least 20 minutes and serve. Trust me, it will be mouth-watering and tempting...

Steps:
- Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top of it.
- Rinse and pat dry the pork tenderloin. Season with fresh cracked black pepper and overlay with thyme. Then wrap tenderloin in prosciutto.
- Heat 2 tblsp oil over medium heat in a skillet or braiser. Brown each side of your tenderloin, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer meat to wire rack set in foil lined baking sheet. Bake until meat registers 145 degrees, approximately 15-18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, deglaze pan used to brown tenderloin by pouring in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Then whisk in the flour until sauce begins to thicken. Whisk in garlic, thyme, and lemon juice. Cook until sauce is desired thickness, whisking often (approx. 5-10 minutes). Off heat, stir in the chives and a dash of salt & pepper.
- Allow tenderloin to stand for a few minutes before slicing. Serve topped with pan sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Pork Loin: Select a pork loin that is evenly thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the pork cooks evenly and stays juicy.
- Use High-Quality Prosciutto: The quality of the prosciutto you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a delicate flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Pork: Pork loin is a relatively lean cut of meat, so it is important to not overcook it. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Roast the Apples Until Tender: The roasted apples add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish. Make sure to roast them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Serve with a Sauce: A simple sauce can help to enhance the flavors of the dish. Try serving it with a pan sauce made from the drippings of the pork and apples, or a creamy horseradish sauce.
Conclusion:
Prosciutto-wrapped pork loin with roasted apples is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is juicy and flavorful, the apples are sweet and tangy, and the prosciutto adds a touch of salty richness. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
