Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

    I made Joce's
    Old Fashion Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
    for dinner last night. It was the most tender, juicy pork dish I have ever made. This is a fantastic recipe. Neither my Husband nor I are big pork eaters and I've never stuffed a tenderloin before.
    To be honest, Joce mentions removing the silver skin but I wasn't really sure what that was. I trimmed off a little bit of fat on the outside but if I left the skin on I sure didn't notice it. :)
    I had just purchased baby new potatoes at the Farmer's Market which I wanted to serve on the side along with some gravy so I decided not to add the mashed potatoes to the bread stuffing mixture. However, in future I will do that as I bet it'd be super yummy that way.
    I found folding up the tenderloin and keeping all the stuffing inside was a little tricky and I used a whole lot of toothpicks! :) But I got it in the end. My tenderloin was quite a large one and I ended up cooking it in the 350F oven for an hour. I actually just cooked the tenderloin without covering it as I didn't read that part 'til after. LOL! It came out brown and juicy, flavourful and oh so tender. This was an awesome recipe and something special to make for guests.
    Thank you so much Joce for such a great Pork dish. WE LOVED IT!

    I am delighted you enjoyed it so much Janet! To be honest I don't know if my Grandmother ever removed the sliver skin but after watching many food shows. I do it all the time now with any pork tenderloin recipe I make. I have now included a link as to how to do in it in the recipe for people who wish to do it. Thanks so much for your wonderful review and great pic:)

    Never have stuffed a pork loin but wow that looks delicious! I could see my self using a lot of toothpicks I do, know me it would pop open in the oven and everything would pop out!

    Awesome pic, Chuckie. I love prok tenderloin. This sounds great, too. I even have all the ingredients, except savory. I dont think Ive ever seen that before. Could something be sub'd for it, or is it a large part in the recipe's flavor. 1T is alot. If I used packaged stuffing, does it have this savory already? I look forward to trying this. Thanks for the heads up

    Thanks Joce, I'll have to check that out.
    I was worried about it popping open too ML2C! :)
    Hi Mr. P! Good to see you! Yes, by all means you could sub the savoury for whatever herb you like in your stuffing. It's not a huge deal. And yes, I'd think that store bought stuffing would already have herbs in it.

    Thanks Mr.P:) I changed the savoury to 1/2 a tablespoon. You could use just only the poultry seasoning if you wish. Yes you are correct the store bought stuffing has all the spices in it. I find them a bit strong and salty for my taste. Done the way they say on the box of "Stove Top Stuffing". I intentionally add more torn bread crumbs, an egg and mashed potato to it after the box of stuffing has been made b/c I find that it tastes more like homemade that way. Then if you have any leftover from stuffing the pork you can just toss it in some tinfoil with a tad of butter and pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes with the pork loin. I hope this helps:)

    That looks fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen mashed potatoes used as a stuffing ingredient. It sounds terrific.

    Frankie, My first MIL made her turkey stuffing like that. It keeps it moist but not too moist and now that is the only way I stuff most things. I think it must be an old English tradition?

    Hi Chuckie Thank you. Im trying to steer clear of prepackage/boxed as much as I can. But making stuffing from scratch, I think I'll play the lazy card : )

    G4U, I didnt mean to imply 1T might be too much, I was trying to ask if that amount made the recipe. Ive never had the spice savory before and wondered if its absence would alter the recipe a lot. Is the strong/odd flavor of boxed stuffing the savory spice? If so I like that flavor. : )

    LOL Mr. P @ "I like the strong/odd flavour". LOL. You gave me my morning grin. Honestly, honestly, stuffing is super duper easy to make, it's nothing....you can do it Mr. P. :) And isn't it you that likes celery? You could even saute up a bit of that with the onion. Go for it! :)
