The Best stuffed roast pork recipe

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of stuffing a large piece of meat, in this case, a pork roast. The concept is simple yet impressive, and when done correctly, it’s a real showstopper. The dish has its roots in European cuisine, specifically in the traditional British and French methods of cooking.

The key to a successful stuffed roast pork is to choose the right ingredients for the filling, as well as to ensure that the meat is cooked evenly throughout. A good rule of thumb is to use a mix of herbs and spices that complement the flavor of the pork without overpowering it. In my experience, a classic combination of sage, thyme, and garlic works beautifully.

I also like to add some chopped onions and carrots for added depth of flavor. Once you’ve chosen your filling ingredients, it’s time to prepare the pork roast itself. Make sure it’s at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.

Next, create a cavity in the center of the roast by making a small incision with your knife. This will allow you to fill the roast with your chosen ingredients without having them spill out during cooking. Be sure to leave enough room for the filling to expand during cooking without bursting out of the roast.

After you’ve filled the roast, tie it up with kitchen twine to keep everything in place. This is an essential step to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.

🥘Ingredients

For the Pork

2 lb pork loin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Stuffing

2 apples, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2Season the pork loin with salt and pepper and rub with olive oil.
Set aside.
3In a mixing bowl, combine diced apples, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, chopped sage, and chicken broth.
4Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
5Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it horizontally, almost but not all the way through.
6Open the pork like a book and lay it flat.
7Spoon the apple and sage mixture evenly over the pork, leaving a small border around the edges.
8Roll the pork tightly and secure it with kitchen twine at regular intervals.
9Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan.
10Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
11Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the pork.
12Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
13This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
14Transfer the pork to a cutting board and slice it into 1/2-inch thick slices.
15Arrange the slices on a serving platter and spoon any pan juices over the top.
16Serve the stuffed roast pork with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
