Stuffed Center Cut Pork Roast
Ingredients:
– 1 (3-4 pound) center-cut pork loin roast
– 1 cup diced onion
– 1 cup diced celery
– 1 cup diced carrots
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
5. Lay the pork loin roast flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the roast by slicing it horizontally but not cutting all the way through, so you can open it like a book.
6. Season the inside of the pork loin with salt and pepper.
7. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the surface of the pork loin.
8. Carefully roll up the pork loin, tucking the stuffing inside. Secure the roast with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.
9. Place the stuffed pork loin on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
10. Remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
11. Slice the stuffed pork roast into 1-inch thick slices and serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
