Creamy cheese (Stilton, Blue Cheese, or Goat Cheese) mashed and mixed well with fresh green onion makes a fast, full of flavour, stuffing for lean pork tenderloin. Fast dinner for two, or three. I increased the recipe, logically, for a dinner party for six. Recipe from April 2003 issue of Chatelaine Magazine. Ingredients:
1 (3/4 lb) pork tenderloin, about |
1/3 cup stilton cheese or 1/3 cup blue cheese or 4 1/2 ounces creamy goat cheese |
2 green onions, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
toothpick |
2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce or 2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230C).
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, using a fork, mash cheese and mix well with onions.
4. Using your hands, form cheese into a long, thin log, about 8 inches (20 cm) long and 3/4 inch (2 cm) wide.
5. Place meat on a large cutting board.
6. Using a sharp knife, slice pork lengthwise, down the center, cutting almost but not completely through the meat.
7. Spread out at flat as possible.
8. Cover with a piece of plastic-wrap.
9. Using a meat mallet, pound pork just until it is uniformly thick- 1/4 inch (0. 5 cm) thick.
10. Sprinkle pepper over pork.
11. Place cheese log on long edge of meat, then roll meat around it, jelly-roll style.
12. Fasten with a few toothpicks.
13. Place, toothpick-side down, on baking sheet.
14. In a small bowl stir teriyaki (or soy) sauce with oil.
15. Brush over pork.
16. Roast, uncovered in centre of 450F (230C) oven until pork is firm when pressed; (from 20-25 minutes).
17. Don't worry if a little melted cheese leaks out.
18. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
19. Serve with roasted new potatoes and Balsamic Green Beans and Pancetta.
