Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

in Pork
I was inspired by a couple of recent stuffed pork tenderloin posts so decided to do some for dinner last night. I used two tenderloins and stuffed with fresh spinach, brown mushrooms, swiss cheese and sliced anjou pear. I cooked the sliced pears for about 5 minutes in melted butter and some brown sugar and sauteed the mushrooms in butter for about 5 minutes as well. Rolled, tied and cooked the whole thing at 350* raised direct for about 45 minutes. Really tasted great!

Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I forgot to add that I flipped the whole thing about 1/2 into the cook for about 5 minutes just to crisp up the top a bit then flipped it back over to finish.

    Awesome!  Very creative on the combination of stuffins.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    That looks fantastic!  Did you find it hard to roll with all the stuffing in it?  That is usually my problem with this type of cook is that I get carried away with all the goodies inside and then struggle to get a good roll.

    Not really, using two tenderloins helped. You just have to keep things "tight" as you roll. I get Mrs. TOTN to help me tie things up.

    Someone mentioned on another thread that they used a bamboo sushi rolling mat to aid with the rolling. I have a couple of those but they were nowhere near being big enough for the job.

    John, very nice stuffing and smoke ring.  Sometimes I use Saran wrap to wrap/shape stuffed chicken/pork, if it's a small piece I just chilled it well after wrapping and cook without string, bacon wrap or toothpicks. btw, I'm impressed with your matching pans, our cooking utensils are all 'one of a kind', lol!
