Apple-Stuffed Pork Loin with Moroccan Spices
Pork and apples are a classic combination, so naturally an apple stuffed pork loin makes perfect sense – especially apples that have been sauteed with onions and a fragrant blend of Moroccan spices.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 lb boneless pork loin roast
- 1 cup apple juice
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450 F.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the apples, onion, spices, salt and pepper, and cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Wriggle a thin, sharp knife info each end of the meat, making a pilot hole. Then use the handle of a wooden spoon to widen the hole all the way through.
- Stuff with the apple-onion mixture; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a baking dish and add apple juice at the bottom.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 325 F. Continue to roast, basting with apple juice about every 15 minutes.
- Start checking the roast after 45 minutes of total cooking time. When it's done, a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat (not the stuffing) will register 145 F. Transfer the roast to a platter.
- Spoon the sauce over the roast, slice, and serve.
