Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
- 4 slices Lemon wedges
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Slice it into thin, wide strips around 1/4-inch thick.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced parsley, and finely minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and stir well to create a moist filling. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Lay out each pork strip on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the surface of each strip.
Roll each pork strip tightly into a spiral and secure it with a skewer. If the strips are long, use one skewer per roll or thread multiple rolls onto one skewer.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking.
Grill the spiedini for about 2-3 minutes per side, cooking evenly until the pork is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). If baking, place the spiedini on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve the Pork Spiedini hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
