Apple and mushroom stuffed roasted pork tenderloin is a recipe that makes a great alternative for the usual ham around the holidays.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Total Time 2 hours

Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds(1 kg) pork tenderloin
• 1 small red onion chopped
• 3.5 ounces(100g) mushrooms chopped small
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 medium apple peeled and chopped
• 1 slice of bread chopped or 3 Tbsp bread crumbs
• 1 lemon's zest
• salt and pepper to your taste
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bay leaves
• 1 cup(250ml) water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F(180C).
2. In a medium pan, melt the butter and add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and apple.
3. Saute them for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the bread or the bread crumbs and mix.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the lemon zest.
6. Remove pan from the stove and set aside.
7. In the meantime soak 6-7 toothpicks in water to prevent them from burning. Rinse the pork and pat dry.
8. Then, make a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of the tenderloin; do not cut all the way through. Open the meat like a book so the tenderloin lies flat.
9. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and pound it with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick, starting from the middle and working outward. This will tenderize the meat and will make it a bit easier to roll.
10. Spread the apple and mushroom mixture over the surface of the pork tenderloin.
11. Starting with a long side, tightly roll up each tenderloin. Secure the seams with the toothpicks.
12. Meanwhile, preheat a large pan.
13. Brush the pork tenderloin roll with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
14. Place the pork tenderloin in the pan and lightly brown all sides for 4-5 minutes.
15. Transfer the meat to a baking pan.
16. Deglaze the pan where you browned the meat with a cup of water. Then pour the sauce over the meat.
17. Roast the pork tenderloin for about 1 hour at 350F(180C) or until the temperature inside the thickest part of the meat is 155F(68C).
18. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
19. Slice and serve with your favorite vegetables.
