Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless pork loin
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Bell pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 10 Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Slice the pork loin into thin, wide strips (approximately 1/4 inch thick). Use a meat mallet to carefully pound each slice until they are thin but still intact. Set aside.
Wash and peel the carrot. Cut it into thin matchstick-size pieces. Do the same for the zucchini and bell pepper, ensuring all vegetables are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Finely mince the garlic and set it aside.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to make a marinade.
Place the pork slices on a flat surface. Brush each slice generously with the marinade.
Take a small handful of prepared vegetables and place them at one end of a pork slice. Roll the pork slice tightly around the vegetables, creating a neat bundle. Secure it with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
Repeat the process with the remaining pork slices and vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a dash of olive oil and carefully place the pork bundles seam-side down in the skillet.
Sear the bundles for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bundles from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with a side of steamed rice or a fresh garden salad.
