Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 lb pork loin; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 yellow bell pepper, diced; 1 small zucchini, diced; 1 small yellow squash, diced; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 tablespoons olive oil; Kitchen twine

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with foil.
To butterfly the pork loin, lay it flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal cut along the length of the loin, cutting almost all the way through but leaving one long edge intact. Open the loin like a book.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove the skillet from heat and let the vegetable mixture cool slightly.
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over the opened pork loin, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll the pork loin back up, tucking in the filling as you go.
Using kitchen twine, tie the stuffed pork loin at 2-inch intervals to secure the filling inside.
Place the stuffed pork loin on the prepared baking sheet and season the outside with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin registers 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the kitchen twine before slicing into thick rounds.
Serve the Vegetable Stuffed Pork Loin hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
