- 1 pork loin, approx. 2.5 lb (1.1-1.2 kg)
- 1 small onion, chopped (70 g)
- 1 small glass dry white wine (120 ml)
- 3/4 cup grated carrots (80 g)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (60 g)
- 6-8 slices ham (140-160 g)
- 6-8 slices cheddar (140-160 g)
- 1 tsp Italian herbs (3 g)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (3 g)
- 2 tbsp salted butter, softened (28 g)
- 1/2 cup chopped fried bacon (60 g)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (15 g)
- 1 tbsp ketchup (15 g)
- 1 tbsp honey (20 g)
- 1 tbsp oil, for greasing (15 ml)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully slice the pork loin open like a book. Set it aside.
- In a bowl, mix the seasoning: onions, herbs, salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup, honey, garlic, white wine, and softened butter.
- Lay the pork loin flat and spread the seasoning all over the inside.
- In another bowl, mix the stuffing ingredients: carrots, dried cranberries, and fried bacon.
- Layer the ham and cheddar slices on top of the seasoned pork, add the stuffing, then finish with another layer of ham.
- Roll the pork tightly, pressing gently as you go.
- Tie it securely with kitchen twine.
- Grease a baking dish and place the rolled pork inside.
- Spread any remaining seasoning mixture over the outside.
- Cover with foil and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C) for 10 minutes. Bake the pork (still covered) for about 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and return to the oven until golden and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).Let it cool slightly, remove the strings, and refrigerate for 2 hours if you want perfect slices. Add 1 cup of water to the baking dish and warm it to loosen the drippings; pour over the sliced pork before serving.
Notes
Rest overnight for fuller flavor.
Tie in smaller sections to keep it tight.
Chill for cleaner slices.
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
Deglaze the baking dish for a delicious sauce.
