Ingredients:
Pork loin (most packages give you two)
Sage Pesto (see pesto recipe below)
6-8 strips of bacon

1/2 cup of sage leaves
1/4 cup of toasted walnuts
seasoning salt and red pepper flakes to taste
2 Tbs of olive oil
Directions: Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and grind until it forms a thick paste.
Directions:
Step 1: Butterfly your pork loins. Cut them in half but not all the way through so it looks like a book. Then take your sage pesto and apply it on the inside of each loin.
Take bacon strips and wrap around each pork loin. Put into a baking dish and salt and pepper the loins. Careful with the salt because the bacon will add salt too. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-55 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Enjoy.

I'm impressed with your ability to think on your feet, this def looks like a crowd pleaser. P.S. your pics look great!! And I can't find your e-mail btw :( ~Sarah
ReplyDeletePork twine. I love it. Sage just happens to be my most favorite fresh herb. I love the soft velvet of the leaves, the smell and the flavor. I'll bet your pesto is fantastic stuffed in chicken too. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteSage gives such a pungent and wonderful flavor.
ReplyDeleteGirl - you're killing me! Sage pesto and bacon? What an awesome combination! Love it stuffed in the pork. Fantastic recipe!
ReplyDeleteAwesome flavours!! Looks fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteBut I thought you didnt eat red meat!! in fact ur blog is just up my alley coz i have the same tastes - only sea food and chicken, and i hate leafy things like coriander and cilantro too :D really loved looking thru all ur traditional srilankan recipes...
ReplyDeleteHi Swati Sapna :) I get to eat pork because they technically say it's white meat in the USA. :) So chicken, pork and seafood are my go to meat dishes. :)
DeletePork loin is always a special dinner dish in our house. Yours looks so festive! Amazing! Have a wonderful weekend, Ramona! hugs!
ReplyDeleteOMG, MUST HAVE PORK... N.O.W. this is toooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteSage pesto is such a great idea! Especially to go alongside this beautiful piece of meat! It looks so moist and delicious and that bacon---heck yes! Amazing job Ramona :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is some serious dinner right here! This looks incredible, Ramona!
ReplyDeleteSage pesto sounds great! I have to say that pork loin isn't my favorite cut of meat, but my husband loves them. When we were back in the US, he would STOCK the freezer with them, so enevitably I would have to cook them. I used to like to stuff them like this too. I really like your pesto though, I bet it was really great for the pork loin!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Ramona this is incredible. You really did a great job. Wish I was coming over for dinner.
ReplyDeleteYou went all out for this one! Wish I could buzz you twice and I think you've coined a new phrase, "pork twine"!
ReplyDeleteWonderful loin. That stuffing looks so delicious!
