Spinach and Feta Stuffed Tenderloin
300kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins trimmed and butterflied
- 1 bunch fresh spinach steamed until wilted
- 1 feta cheese crumbled (about 4–6 oz)
- 1 bunch fresh oregano chopped
- 0.5 pound fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1 pound bacon for wrapping
- 1 dash salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 clove garlic minced
Method
- Trim the pork tenderloins of silver skin and excess fat, then butterfly or filet them and roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Steam or wilt the spinach until softened, then drain well and squeeze out excess moisture; set aside.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic; cook until fragrant and beginning to brown.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan; cook until they release their liquids and begin to brown.
- Add the wilted spinach to the mushrooms, sauté until the pan liquids evaporate, then remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
- Spread the cooled spinach-mushroom mixture evenly over each butterflied tenderloin.
- Top the mixture with crumbled feta, chopped fresh oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll each tenderloin tightly to enclose the filling and wrap the outside with bacon strips to secure the roll.
- Cook the bacon-wrapped rolls until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 175°F (79°C). If smoking (Traeger), smoke for about 3 hours and increase heat at the end to finish; alternatively roast in a 375°F oven or cook over indirect grill heat.
- Remove from heat and let the tenderloins rest for 10 minutes, then slice into 1 to 1 1/2-inch rounds to serve.
