1st Attempt Pork Loin Roulade

EggerFromIowa

Decided to try my hand at making something different for the family.

Went with a pork loin roulade.


Started with 2 unseasoned 1.5 # pork loins.

I used Classico Pesto the Basil(green) jar. Used about 1/3 of the jar between both loins.

Then added prepared stove topped stuffing with cranberries. My wife made the comment that when she eats pork she shouldn't be biting into fruit. I beg to differ, so I guess next time I'll be picking out the "fruit" from her loin.
Next topped it all off with mozzarella cheese, 3 oz per loin.

The rolling and tying was an adventure, I learned a few things for next time. And I learned a few things not to do next time.

All in all, it was a neat cook, and tasted real good. I'll be making this again sometime soon.

Fruit and pork go very well together!
I stuffed a chicken with boxed dressing and added about 1/2 cup dried fruit to it, along with some sauted onion........fruit goes well with chicken, too
Keep on doing that adventurous Egging and watch how your wife's palate expands :woohoo:
as for the securing the stuffing part.......we gotta just keep practicing

Yea, fruit and pork go hand in hand, apples are my favorite.
Your cook looks good, neatness is way over rated. Next time try a bacon wrap on it. Pork, apples, bacon, :ohmy: yum, :P :cheer:

Looks good...rolling and tying always an adventure. Try homemade corn bread dressing and finally chop the cranberries for the next cook.

that looks great! i just made my first roulade a couple weeks ago (the thread i posted today) and it was pretty tough! i didn't tie mine, rather i wrapped it in a bacon weave.
