Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup walnuts, halves and pieces
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs pork loin or 1 1/2 lbs tenderloin
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 6 slices
3/4 cup yellow cherry tomato, halved
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
6 teaspoons chopped cilantro
12 teaspoons walnuts, halves and piece coarsely chopped
12 teaspoons olive oil
6 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place walnuts, cilantro, Parmesan cheese, oil and salt in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth (about 1-2 minutes) to make the pesto.
  • Butterfly pork and pound until ¼-inch thick. Spread cilantro pesto onto pork loin and roll up. Tie with butcher twine to hold it closed.
  • Sear pork in a hot skillet on all sides then place in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place 1 slice of mozzarella, topped with ¼ cup mixed tomatoes, 1 tablespoons cilantro, 2 teaspoons nuts, 2 teaspoons oil, and 1 teaspoons vinegar on each of 6 plates.
  • After allowing pork to rest for 10 minutes, cut into slices. Place sliced pork onto each plate.
  • Note: Basil may be substituted for cilantro, if desired.
  • Tip: To butterfly pork tenderloin, place the tenderloin on a cutting board. Place your knife parallel to the board and carefully cut the meat lengthwise making sure not to cut all the way through. Remove the knife and open the meat.

The pork was a little dry, but the pesto stuffing was delicious. I would recommend using a pork tenderloin that is a bit thicker.
