Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Remove the flap of meat at the wider end of the tenderloin and trim the last two inches off of the narrow end of the tenderloin; chop trimmings and reserve.
- Cut from one side of the tenderloin through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Cut a few shallow slashes in the meat. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2-inch thick. Roll up pounded tenderloin, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to keep cold.
- Mix chopped pork trimmings, parsley, bread crumbs, currants, garlic, rosemary, egg, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with a fork until stuffing is well-combined.
- Unroll tenderloin on work surface. Spread stuffing over tenderloin, leaving a 2-inch border on one of the long-sides. Roll up tenderloin, ending at the 2-inch border; tie meat with twine to secure shape. Season tenderloin all over with salt and black pepper.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat until hot. Cook tenderloin in hot skillet until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 15 minutes before removing twine and slicing.

PORK CHOPS ALLA FIORENTINA
This might be my favorite way to get Jade to eat some spinach. The mascarpone keeps it light while adding a creaminess that marries all the flavors together into a luscious sauce. It's in our rotation year-round.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: A pork loin roast or pork tenderloin are both good choices for this recipe. Look for a roast that is about 2-3 pounds and has a good amount of marbling.
- Prepare the pork: Before you start cooking the pork, you will need to butterfly it. This means cutting it lengthwise through the center, but not all the way through. Once the pork is butterflied, you can flatten it out with a meat mallet.
- Season the pork: Before you roll up the pork, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Stuff the pork: Once the pork is seasoned, you can stuff it with your favorite fillings. Some popular options include spinach, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Roll up the pork: Once the pork is stuffed, you can roll it up and secure it with kitchen twine.
- Cook the pork: You can cook the pork in the oven or on the grill. If you are cooking it in the oven, roast it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are cooking it on the grill, grill it over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork rest: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
