Pesto stuffed pork tenderloin two waysMy friend, Mary Lee Olinger, an Anderson Township reader, shared the first recipe a while back. It has a delicious culinary history, starting with Mary Lee’s friend, Mary Ann Myers. Ingredients for each recipe1 pork tenderloin, about 2 pounds, trimmedPesto Garnish for each recipeRomano & or Parmesan cheese – gratedPine nuts (optional) InstructionsPreheat oven to 350 for both methods. Method #1: filling the tenderloinLay tenderloin on cutting board. Starting from the top, cut meat vertically not quite all the way through. What you want is a nice “trough” to fill.Spread tenderloin open a bit, then spoon pesto until it fills (and overflows a bit) cavity.Place, cut side up, in sprayed baking pan.Tie roast in three places to keep it together. Sprinkle cheese and nuts over roast. Method #2: filling the tenderloinLay tenderloin on cutting board. Starting on thinner end, take a sharp knife and slice horizontally almost all the way through. It will open up like a book. Pound out evenly.Spread pesto to within an inch of edges. Fold over the 2 short edges a little bit. This helps seal the roulade. Roll up, starting at long end. Place, seam side down, on sprayed baking pan. Smear some pesto on top. Roasting for bothBake until done (145 degrees) – in my oven it took 20-30 minutes. Don’t over cook this lean cut of meat, or it will be dry.Rest about 10 minutes, tented. Temperature will rise several degrees.Slice thickly, then sprinkle with cheese and nuts if you like. ***** Information on the new Stanley Rother documentary, American Martyr, can be found at rotherdoc.com.
