Best Paleo Stuffed Pork Loin Recipes

PALEO STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375F (191C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. 2. Prepare the pork loin roast by butterflying or cutting it in a roll fashion. Here's how to cut it in a roll so the meat looks beautiful and spiraled when you cut into it. You may want to pound the meat so it's uniformly flat. Set it aside and prepare the filling. 3. In a small bowl, mix the walnuts, dried apricots, dried cherries and sage. 4. With the meat lying open, sprinkle about half the salt and pepper on the inside. Now, place the filling on the meat in one layer. You'll want to stay away from the edges so the filling won't fall out when you roll it. 5. Starting with the thinnest end toward you, roll the meat up carefully. Place the rolled edge down and the fat up. Wrap butcher's twine around the roast every few inches so it doesn't open up during roasting. 6. Roast the pork for approximately 40-50 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the meat reads 145F (63C). Allow the roast to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice it into rounds with a sharp knife. *Look for dried fruit that in unsweetened when possible.

PALEO STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over a medium-high heat, saute the onion, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, sage, thyme, and garlic in a 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Saute everything for about 3 to 4 minutes, just until the onions become slightly translucent and the tomatoes and artichokes begin to become tender. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside for later use.
• Place the pork tenderloin in a 9×13 baking dish, rub some coconut oil all over and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. In order to stuff the loin, create a seam in the meat by cutting it down the center lengthwise, essentially, you want to be able to unfold the meat. Set the meat aside until the stuffing has been prepared.
• Preheat your oven to 450°F.
• Turn your attention back to the stuffing. Once the ingredients from the skillet have completely cooled, whisk in an egg. The egg is essential to the stuffing, as this is what replaces the usual "breadcrumbs" and works to hold everything together. However, to make this work best, tomato/artichoke mixture must be cool, otherwise it will cook the egg before it is even stuffed in the meat and the egg will no longer act as a glue, since it cannot be cooked twice.
• Take the stuffing and begin spreading it across the seam of the meat. Avoid filling the meat too much, as you will not be able to fold the pork closed. Use some toothpicks to ensure the tenderloin does not pop open while cooking.
• Cook, uncovered, at 450 F for 30 minutes. Once the first 30 minutes have passed, reduce the heat to 300 F and cook for another 20 minutes. When the time is up, turn off the oven, but allow the meat to remain in it for at least 15 minutes. This cooking method is perfect for keeping the meat from overcooking and becoming dry. Bon apetit!
