**Ingredients:**
– 2 lbs pork loin roast
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the pork loin roast by cutting through the center lengthwise, but not all the way through, so you can open it up like a book.
4. Lay the butterflied pork roast flat on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and pepper.
5. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the opened pork loin, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Carefully roll the pork loin back up, ensuring the stuffing stays inside. Secure the roast with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to hold it together during cooking.
7. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the stuffed pork loin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
9. Remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Slice the Spinach Stuffed Pork Roast into thick rounds with the stuffing spiraling through each slice.
11. Serve the juicy slices of pork with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, satisfying meal.
