Equipment
- kitchen string
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 ½ ounces part skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach

- 1 ounce thin sliced prosciutto
- salt and fresh cracked pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F°
- Combine crushed garlic, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, and pepper; mix well.
- Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the tenderloin to within ½- inch of bottom (careful not to cut all the way through).
- Open tenderloin so it lies flat. On each half, make another, lengthwise slit down the center to within ½-inch of bottom; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to ¼-in. thickness with a mallet.
- Remove plastic wrap; spread ½ of the garlic/Dijon mixture on the inside of the pork. Layer the cheese, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and proscuitto on top, press down gently.
- Roll up pork jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie the roast at 1½-inch to 2-inch intervals with kitchen string.
- Season lightly with salt, and remaining garlic/Dijon mixture. Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan.
- Bake, uncovered, at 425F° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Place under the broiler to brown the top for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter or cutting board.
- Let stand 10 minutes before removing string and slicing. Slice in 8 pieces.
