Herb-Stuffed Pork Roast with Mustard Gravy image

Looking for a special main for a holiday meal? You found it. This herb-stuffed pork roast will impress everyone at the table (and you'll be impressed with how easy it is to pull off).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Pork Recipes

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pork rib roast with 6 ribs (about 4 pounds), chine bone removed and ribs frenched
3 cups fresh parsley
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fennel seed, crushed
3 cloves garlic
1/3 cup golden raisins
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon grainy mustard

Steps:

  • Let pork sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, puree parsley, oil, fennel seed, and garlic until smooth. Add raisins; pulse until finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On a cutting board, hold a knife parallel to bones of pork and cut down about 2 inches, being careful not to remove ribs.
  • Turn pork so bones lie flat against board. Steadying pork and holding knife horizontally, continue to cut, unrolling pork, until you have a flat 1 1/2-inch-thick piece. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Evenly spread herb mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Tightly roll pork toward bones and secure with kitchen twine between bones. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place pork in a heavy-bottomed metal roasting pan.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center reads 145 degrees, about 1 hour. Transfer pork to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 30 minutes. Pour pan drippings into a measuring cup and skim fat. Set pan across 2 burners.
  • Add wine to pan and cook over medium, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until wine is reduced by half. Whisk in flour, then slowly whisk in broth and pan drippings. Cook, whisking, until gravy is thickened, 4 minutes. Stir in mustard and season with salt and pepper. Cut pork into chops and serve with gravy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork cut: For this recipe, a boneless pork loin or tenderloin is best. These cuts are lean and tender, and they cook quickly.
  • Brine the pork: Brining the pork helps to keep it moist and flavorful. To brine the pork, simply soak it in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for several hours or overnight.
  • Stuff the pork with a flavorful filling: The filling for this recipe is made with spinach, herbs, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables.
  • Cook the pork properly: The pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure that the pork is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing: After the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the pork more tender.

Conclusion:

Spinach and Herb Stuffed Pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its flavorful filling and tender pork, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
