SLOW-COOKER STUFFED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• To cut pork roast so that it can be filled and rolled, cut horizontally down length of pork about 1/2 inch from top of pork to within 3/4 inch of opposite side; open flat. Turn pork so you can cut other side. Repeat with other side of pork, cutting from the inside edge to the outer edge; open flat. If pork is thicker than 3/4 inch, cover pork with plastic wrap and pound until about 3/4-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and mushrooms in oil, stirring frequently, until liquid has evaporated. Stir in spinach, bread crumbs and cheese.
• Spread mushroom mixture on inside surfaces of pork. Roll up pork; tie with kitchen twine. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in oil until brown on all sides. Place pork in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 7 hours or until pork is tender.

SPINACH-STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open tenderloin so it lies flat. On each half, make another, lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2 in. of bottom; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap; sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon celery salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Layer with the cheese, spinach and ham. Press down gently., Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie the roast at 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch intervals with kitchen string. Sprinkle with remaining celery salt, garlic powder and pepper. Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan., Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Transfer to a serving platter. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

SPINACH, GARLIC, AND PARMESAN-STUFFED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a shallow roasting pan with oil.
• Cut six to eight 1-inch-thick slices vertically into the roast, stopping at least 1/2 inch from the bottom.
• Heat butter and avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute until soft. Add spinach, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and coriander until evenly incorporated.
• Stuff pork roast with spinach mixture, placing an equal amount between each slice. Sprinkle paprika over roast. Transfer to the prepared roasting pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), about 1 hour. Cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

SPINACH PARMESAN STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Cut loin filet in half vertically. Place one piece in sealed ziplock or wrap in plastic wrap. Use a mallet to flatten to about ½-inch thick. Repeat process for other piece, set aside.
• Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain excess liquid with a fine mesh strainer, pressing to remove as much liquid as possible. In a medium bowl, combine spinach, both cheeses, garlic and thyme.
• Evenly spread mixture over flattened pork loins, up to about ½-inch from edges. Tightly roll from one edge then wrap and tie with kitchen twine.
• Heat olive oil to medium-high heat in a large nonstick pan or skillet. Add pork loins and cook 5-8 minutes, until browned. Rotate and brown other side, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until internal temp reaches at least 145°F., about 10-15 minutes (rotating if needed). Remove from pan and let sit 10 minutes. Slice into 1-inch thick pieces and serve.

PORK LOIN WITH SPINACH-BACON STUFFING

Steps:

• Butterfly pork loin by cutting roast horizontally to within ¼" of the other side. Do not cut all the way through. You will make two cuts, starting 1/3rd of the way up the side of the roast. Make the first cut along the length of the roast and open it like a book. Then make your second cut as if you are opening up a jelly roll, coming within ¼" of the edge and opening the roast so that you have a rectangle of meat about ½" thick. Meanwhile, cook onion and garlic in hot oil until tender; remove from heat. Add crumbled bacon, Parmesan cheese, mustard, basil and pepper to onion mixture. Mix well. Spread onion mixture on pork rectangle. Place chopped fresh spinach on top of onion mixture. Roll up into a spiral. Tie with kitchen string to secure. Place pork in shallow pan and roast in a 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, until internal temperature (measured with a meat thermometer) reads 155°F. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes under foil. Slice to serve, removing string. **Alternatively, my preference is to sear the pork on a gas or charcoal grill on all sides until brown. Place pork over indirect heat and grill with the lid on, turning roast ¼ turn every 15 minutes. Grill for 45 to 50 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is, and remove when an instant read thermometer reaches 155 degrees F. Remove and let rest for 15 minutes under foil. Slice and serve.
