Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin (butterflied)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 roll Kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the butterflied pork loin on a clean surface, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound with a meat mallet until it is an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Season the pork with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, fresh oregano, and lemon zest. Mix well.
Spread the filling mixture evenly over the butterflied pork loin, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the pork loin tightly, starting from one long side. Tuck in the ends as you go.
Secure the roulade with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals to hold its shape during cooking.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork roulade on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the roulade from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cut into thick slices and serve warm, pairing with sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
