Spinach-Feta Stuffed Pork Loin
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10-oz) pkg fresh spinach
- 1 (6-oz) pkg crumbled feta cheese
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 (5-lb) whole pork loin roast, trimmed
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until tender. Gradually add spinach, stirring until spinach is wilted. Stir in cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat; set aside to cool slightly.
- Butterfly pork loin by making a lengthwise cut down center of one flat side, cutting to within 1 inch of other side; open pork like a book. From bottom of cut, slice horizontally to within ½ inch from left side; repeat procedure on right side.
- Open pork loin, and flatten to ½-inch-thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin; trim uneven edges to make a rectangle, if necessary. Season pork lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spread spinach mixture over pork, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides. Roll up pork, starting with 1 long side; tie at 2-inch intervals with butcher's twine; lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Place pork on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan; bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°F.
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 145°F. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
