Cheese Stuffed Pork Roulade Recipes

STUFFING STUFFED PORK ROAST - PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat oven to 325°Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a V-rack wire rack inside. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Butterfly the pork loin roast or ask your butcher to do this for you.
• Use paper towels to pat the pork dry and rub it on all sides with salt and sugar. Place the roast in a zipper-lock bag and refrigerate 1-4 hours.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage and bacon until the sausage has browned, the bacon is cooked through but not crispy. Transfer the meat to a paper towel-lined plate reserving 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the skillet.
• Add the onion, celery and apple to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion, celery and apple are tender. Add the minced garlic and remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the onion mixture into a large mixing bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Add the reserved sausage/bacon mixture to the onion mixture, in the bowl, and stir well.
• While the above cooks, place the bread, sage, rosemary and thyme in the bowl of a food processor and pulse the mixture into coarse crumbs.
• Set the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter melts, add the coarse breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (do not allow the breadcrumbs to burn). Add the breadcrumb mixture to the sausage/onion mixture and stir well. Set aside.
• Remove the pork from the bag and set it in a second large baking tray. Pat it dry with paper towels and arrange it, fat cap down, on the tray.
• Cover the pork with the sausage/onion stuffing, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides.
• Cut 7 (10-inch) pieces of kitchen twine and set them next to the work area.
• Roll the pork tightly and tie it at 1-inch intervals along the length of the roast. Season it, on all sides, with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Heat the large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons oil.
• Place the roast in the skillet and brown on all sides (about 3 minutes per side).
• Set the roast in the V-rack wire rack on the rimmed baking sheet, fat side up, and set it in the oven. Pour the chicken stock under the roast in the bottom of the baking sheet.
• Roast the pork 50-60 minutes or until the thickest, middle part of the pork registers 145°F on a meat thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest 10-20 minutes before slicing. Remove the kitchen twine before slicing.
• If desired and if there is enough, pour any rendered juices from the bottom of the pan through a mesh strainer and serve alongside the roast.
• Enjoy!

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

PORK ROULADE WITH CHUTNEY STUFFING AND ROSEMARY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the chutney: Combine the cinnamon, rosemary, shallot ginger, garlic, chicken stock, apple dried fruit and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce the heat to simmer until soft and plump, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and rosemary sprigs. Strain the dried fruit mixture, reserving the infused chicken stock. Transfer the dried fruit mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the vinegar, sugar, walnuts and a pinch of salt.
• For the pork: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the pork lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the other side. Open the halves, laying the pork flat like a book. Place plastic wrap over the pork; pound to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet. Season the pork with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Spread the chutney mixture on the pork. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Truss the rolled pork with butcher's twine.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, seam-side down; cook 4 minutes or until browned, carefully turning occasionally. If the pan gets too dark, deglaze with 1/4 cup chicken stock, discarding the stock in a heatproof bowl after the deglazing. Place the pan in the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan to a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat and deglaze with 1 cup of the reserved infused chicken stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until the stock has reduced and thickened. Stir in the butter and season the sauce with salt and pepper, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Drizzle around the pork. Serve with Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes and Celery Salad.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Very generously salt the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are very soft, about 18 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, shallots and a pinch of salt. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the cream reduces to 1/2 cup. Strain, set aside and keep warm.
• Drain the potatoes then put them through a food mill or ricer into a large bowl. Immediately stir in the butter and gradually pour in the warm cream. Stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
• Add all ingredients into a medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHEESE-AND-BROCCOLI-STUFFED PORK ROULADE WITH GRILLED TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• 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 reserve.
• 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. 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. 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) on each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates. 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 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.
• While the roulades are cooking, make the relish: Lay an onion slice 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 the 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.

MUSHROOM-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they start browning, about 2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 more minutes. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet. Add another 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the other side of the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir the garlic into the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, combine the parsley, chopped thyme and rosemary, 3 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Butterfly the pork: Position your knife about one-third of the way up the length of the pork loin, with your knife parallel to the cutting board. Begin cutting into the pork, pulling the meat away with your other hand so that it opens up into a flat, evenly thick piece. Season the pork with salt and pepper, spread the herb oil over the top, and top with the mushrooms. Reroll the pork into a log and tie in 1-inch intervals using kitchen twine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Set a rack in a large roasting pan. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, fat-side down, and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning, until browned all over, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer the pork, seam-side down, to the rack in the pan. Roast on the lower oven rack until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (not the filling) registers 135 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the pork on the rack to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, skim off any excess fat from the juices in the roasting pan and add the sherry. Place the pan across two burners over medium-high heat. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs and cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon and stirring, until the liquid is reduced by about half, 1 minute. Pour into a small saucepan, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and season with salt. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Place the pork on a cutting board and remove the twine; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to a platter and serve with the sauce.
