CHEESE-STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Mix green onions, bacon, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, spinach, mushrooms, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread onto one side of pounded tenderloin. Roll tenderloin around the filling in a jelly-roll fashion. Coat rolled tenderloin with bread crumbs; place on the prepared baking sheet.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the Cheddar and set aside.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Starting with the long side closest to you, tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) at each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill the roulades over direct heat, turning, until the outside is well marked, about 12 minutes. Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay a slice of onion on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand, push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Cut the strings off the roulades with scissors and slice the roulades on the bias. Serve with the relish.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED PORK LOIN CHOPS

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in one of the wide sides of each chop but do not cut completely through to any of the other sides.
• Use the knife, your finger, or the handle portion of a wooden spoon to expand the void in the chop as large as possible.
• The goal is to make a pocket for the cheese (picture a coin purse, where only the top is open).
• Use as much of the cheese as is necessary to fill the pocket.
• Secure with toothpicks in such a way that the chops will still lay levelly in a pan.
• Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
• Make several slices through the garlic yet keeping each clove intact.
• Fry in the oil till brown but not burned, then remove from pan.
• Season chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Brown the chops in the oil on each side.
• The cheese will probably begin to melt and leak from the chop, but don't worry about this.
• When chops are well browned, add the wine (as much as necessary to come about halfway up the sides of the chops) to the saute pan, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
• Remove them from pan directly to dinner plate.
• Stir the cheese that has leaked out from the chops well into the wine and cooking juices, still over the heat, until you have a well-incorporated sauce.
• This should only take a moment.
• Serve sauce over the chops immediately, and enjoy.

• Grill patties until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) and goat cheese melts, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve burgers on buns with arugula, aioli, and pickled red onions.
