Ingredients
- 2 kg pork loin – rolled
- 3 slice/s sourdough bread – diced 1 cm approx 2 heaped cups
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion/s – diced
- 2 rasher/s bacon – finely diced
- 3 clove/s garlic – crushed
- 100 g baby spinach
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Ground black pepper
- 35 g macadamia nuts – chopped small approx ½ cup
- 125 ml chicken stock or bone broth
- 2 lemon/s
- Raspberry Sauce
- 60 ml red wine – ¼ cup
- 150 g frozen raspberries
- 60 ml chicken stock or bone broth
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper – to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F (fan-forced).
- Dice the bread into 1cm pieces.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over a moderate heat and stir-fry until the bread is crisp. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining olive oil and fry the onion and bacon for 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for another few minutes until the onion has softened.
- Stir in the spinach to just wilt. Remove from the heat and mix in the mustard, seasoning, macadamias, the stock, zest of one lemon and crunchy bread.
- Untie the pork loin and place skin side down on a dry chopping board.
- Spread the stuffing over the pork allowing a cm or two at the edges (to spread as you roll it).
- Roll the pork and tie with kitchen string at about 2-3cm intervals.
- I often take my stuffing to the butcher and he rolls it for me.
- Rub the pork skin in a drizzle of olive oil and season generously with sea salt (this helps the crackle, crisp up nicely).
- Cut the lemons to form a nice rack under the pork loin.
- Sit the pork on the lemons in a baking dish and bake for 1¼ hours or until the pork is cooked to your liking.
Notes
Sauce: To make the sauce, add all the ingredients into a pan and bring to a simmer to reduce by half. Press the raspberries down with a potato masher to release their juices. Once thick and syrupy, strain the raspberry seeds through a sieve and place in a jug to serve with the pork.
