Instructions: Sauté green onions in a skillet coated with cooking spray until tender; remove from heat. Stir in apple and next 5 ingredients; set aside. Prepare pork loin for stuffing. Spread apple mixture over flattened pork loin, leaving a 1/2 inch border; roll up pork loin, jellyroll fashion, starting with long side. Tie rolled loin. Place on a rack coated with cooking spray; place rack in a shallow roasting pan. Coat loin with cooking spray; sprinkle with Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake covered, at 350ºF. for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Whisk cornstarch and next 3 ingredients in a small heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Serve with stuffed pork loin. Garnish, if desired. Makes 6 servings. Note: To prepare pork loin for stuffing, slice pork loin lengthwise down the center, cutting to, but not through the bottom. Starting from center cut, make a horizontal cut toward 1 side, stopping 1/2 inch from edge. Repeat on opposite side. Unfold loin so that it is flat. Flatten loin evenly to about a 12x8 inch rectangle using a meat mallet or rolling pin. After stuffing and rolling, tie the loin at 2 inch intervals with heavy string or kitchen twine. Be sure to bake seam side down. Serving Size: 6 Recipe by: Americas Best Loved Recipes Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #995 by L979 <L979@aol.com> on Jan 8, 1998 |
