1 1/2 pounds of pork tenderloin
For the Filling:
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp olive oil
3 oz. feta cheese
1/2 a 7 oz. container sundried tomatoes packed in oil (About 6 tomato pieces), chopped
5 c packed baby spinach
A pinch of red pepper flakes
A pinch of salt
For the Coating:
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp rosemary, chopped
1 heaping teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, grated
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 218 degrees C or 425 degrees F.
Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add oil and allow it to become hot.
Add grated garlic and red pepper flakes into the hot skillet, then sauté for a few minutes until aromatic.
Add the spinach, then cook for a few minutes until wilted. Add a pinch of salt to season.
Transfer the spinach mixture onto a sheet of paper towel, then squeeze it to remove most of the water. Place them into a large bowl.
Add the feta cheese and tomatoes into the bowl with the spinach. Give it a good stir until well combined.
To Make the Topping:
In a mixing bowl, add mustard, lemon zest, oil, garlic, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until well incorporated.
Assemble the Mediterranean Stuffed Pork Tenderloin:
Beginning in the middle, slice through the tenderloin lengthwise. Open it like a book.
Add the spinach mixture inside and spread it evenly. Fold it and secure it with kitchen twines.
Place the stuffed pork into a roasting pan, then spread the toppings over.
Reduce the heat of the oven to 375 degrees F and bake the tenderloin for 20 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to incorporate all the flavors.
Serve and enjoy!
