How To Make Rolled Pork Loin with California Raisins and Herbs
From raisins, sun-dried tomatoes, and various herbs, this rolled pork loin is packed with a lot of rich flavors that blend perfectly well together.
Ingredients
- 3 cups California raisins
- 4 lb pork loin, boneless, trimmed
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ cup onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes with Italian herbs, drained and chopped
- 1 tbsp jalapeno chilies, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup white wine
- salt and pepper, to taste
- ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic , large, minced
Instructions
-
Blend 2 cups of the raisins in a food processor or blender until smooth.
-
Position the pork loin away from you with the long end facing 12 o'clock. Using a long slicing knife, make a ¾-inch deep cut along the right edge for the entire length of the roast.
- Roll the roast to the left.
-
Then, starting inside that cut, hold the knife at an angle and cut another ¾-inch-deep cut along the previous cut.
-
Keep turning roast, repeating these ¾-inch-deep cuts until you have one large square sheet of pork.
-
In heavy-bottomed sauté pan, sauté onions in two tablespoons of olive oil until caramelized and tender.
-
Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes until flavors blend.
-
Mix Dijon mustard, minced garlic cloves, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Season pork on both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Spread filling evenly over flattened loin to ¾ inch around all edges.
-
Roll the loin jelly-roll style and tie with string.
- Spread rub on outside of rolled loin.
-
Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, basting occasionally, to internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F for medium-rare or 150 degrees F for juicy medium-well.
-
Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
-
Slice and serve.
