Chorizo Stuffed Pork Loin Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Butterfly the tenderloin until it is laid out flat. Place the butterflied tenderloin between large pieces of plastic wrap. With a meat tenderizer,pound tenderloin until 1/4-inch thickness.
• Season the tenderloin on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chorizo down the center of the tenderloin, patting it down, and leaving about 2 inches on all sides of the chorizo. Roll up the tenderloin. Truss the tenderloin with kitchen string.
• Heat a large sauté pan to high heat. Pour in the oil. Place the trussed tenderloin in the hot oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides evenly, until the bottom has a browned crust.
• Slide the skillet into the hot oven. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until an internal temperature of 160°F has been achieved.
• Remove trussing; slice the tenderloin on a bias. Place the pieces on a platter. Drizzle the tenderloin with marmalade. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pound the fennel with 1 tbsp sea salt in a pestle and mortar to a fine dust. To butterfly the pork, lay on a chopping board skin-side down. Using a sharp knife, cut between the fatty layer just beneath the skin and the loin, rolling the meat to the side but leaving the meat and fat/skin connected at one end. Where you have a hinge, cut another line into the side of the thickest part of the meat, halfway down. Keep cutting in that direction to the other end of the loin, but not all the way through. Open the meat out. Rub in the fennel and salt, then set aside while you make the stuffing. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the finely chopped onion and cook over a low-medium heat until softened, about 8 mins. Stir through the garlic, cook for another minute, tip into a bowl, then leave to cool.
• Tip the bread into a roasting tin. Bake for 10 mins, or until crisp and golden, then leave to cool. Turn the oven up to 240C/220C fan/gas 9.
• Crush any large chunks of bread to crumbs in your hands and add to the bowl of garlic and onion, along with the lemon zest. Pick the leaves from half the thyme sprigs and add these too, followed by the sausagemeat, squeezing it out from the skins. Scrunch everything together well using your hands.
• Pat the pork meat and skin dry with kitchen paper. Spread the stuffing evenly over the opened fleshy part of the pork, then roll the meat around the stuffing. Lay four-five pieces of string on a board, place the rolled-up meat on top, wrap the skin around the meat, then securely tie the string around the whole loin to make a neat cylinder. Rub the remaining oil over the exposed meat and salt into the skin.
• Put the loin in a large roasting tin and roast for 20 mins. Lower the heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and continue cooking for 1 hr.
• Remove the tin from the oven. If there is a lot of fat in the tin, carefully pour some away so you're left with a thin coating on the base of the tin. Tip the onion wedges, peppers and remaining thyme sprigs around the pork, then add the sherry, stock cube and paprika. Season and mix everything together, then return to the oven for 30 mins.
• Stir the beans into the veg in the roasting tin and squeeze over some lemon juice. If the beans look dry, add a splash of water. Return to the oven for another 10 mins.
• Remove the tin from the oven. Lift the pork onto a baking tray and cover the beans to keep them warm. Turn the oven up to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 and roast the pork for a final 10-15 mins to help the skin crackle. If you don't see bubbles popping on the surface, try grilling it for a few minutes, but keep a close eye on the crackling as it will burn easily. If you have a meat thermometer, the temperature should read 75C. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 10-15 mins.
• Reheat the beans gently on the hob, then transfer to a large platter. Scatter with parsley. Slice the pork thickly and lay on top of the beans with shards of crackling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees
• Combine spinach, cheese, chorizo (or salami) and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl.
• In another bowl, combine garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside
• To butterfly the tenderloin, lay it on a large cutting board. Holding the knife blade flat and parallel to the board, make a lengthwise cut through the center of the meat, stopping short of the opposite edge so the tenderloin remains in one piece. Open as you would a book.
• Spread the spinach mixture in the center of the pork, leaving a 1-inch boarder all around. Starting at a long side, roll up pork to enclose the filling. Fold in the short sides as you roll, to keep filling from falling out. Tie kitchen string firmly lengthwise around the roast to secure the two ends, then tie it crosswise at 2-inch intervals.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and brown pork on all sides, 4-6 minutes total. Brush top with reserved garlic mixture, season with pepper. Transfer pan to the oven and roast pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees...15 to 20 minutes. Let rest on a clean cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Marinade:.
• In a small bowl mix together onion, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, mustard and lemon juice. Set aside.
• Roast:.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add green onions, sausage meat, and paprika.
• Cook, stirring frequently, until sausage crumbles and begins to brown.
• Add chives, stir a few times, and remove from heat to cool.
• Butterfly tenderloins lengthwise, and pound with a mallet until they are 1/2 inch thick.
• Remove stems from swiss chard, and lay over tenderloin, covering the entire surface without overlapping.
• Place a wide line of sausage stuffing lengthwise down the center of the tenderloin.
• Roll pork into a log. Use butcher's twine to tie the roll at 2 inch intervals.
• Place pork rolls in a shallow dish or sealable freezer bag. Pour over marinade, ensuring that all sides of the rolls are covered with onion pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• Preheat grill to medium high heat.
• Sear all sides of rolls, then turn off heat directly below the rolls. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking by moving all rolls to the side without heat, and reduce the other burner to medium.
• Cook rolls to an internal temperature of 160F (Should take approx 20 minutes, but base cooking time on thermometer, if possible).
• Remove to a cutting board, and tent with foil for 10 minutes.
• Remove strings, slice rolls, and enjoy!
