How To Make A Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 pork (or alternative) tenderloin

(about 2 lbs)

1 small onion, diced

6 sun dried tomatoes, chopped

2 artichoke hearts, chopped

1 egg

2 cloves of garlic, minced or crushed

2 tbsp olive oil or ghee

½ tsp sage

½ tsp thyme½ tsp nutmeg

salt and black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over

medium-high heat and sauté the

onion, garlic, sun dried tomatoes and

artichoke hearts. Sauté for 3 – 5

minutes, stirring regularly until the

onions are translucent and the

artichokes and sun dried tomatoes

become tender. Remove from heat

and set aside.

Place the tenderloin in a large baking

dish and drizzle with a little olive oil,

then sprinkle with salt and pepper.Cut the tenderloin lengthwise down

the center to create a seam that

allows you to stuff it and set aside

until the stuffing is ready.

Preheat your oven to 450 F while you

prepare the stuffing. Whisk an egg

into the ingredients in the skillet –

make sure that they’re cooled to 

room temperature before you do this,

since you need the egg to cook once

it’s inside the pork tenderloin, not

before.

Place the stuffing into the seam of the

pork tenderloin; get as much of the

stuffing in as you can, but take care

not to overstuff it to the point thatyou can’t fold it closed. Use

toothpicks to secure the tenderloin

while it cooks.

Place the pork tenderloin in the oven

and cook, uncovered for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, lower the heat to

300 F and cook for another 20

minutes. Turn off the oven, but don’t

remove the tenderloin from the oven

for another 15 minutes. Remove from

the oven, remove the toothpicks, slice

and serve.
