Sage & Rosemary Pork Directions
- In a small bowl, combine parsley, chopped sage, chopped rosemary, garlic, 3 tbsp oil, mustard, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper, to make filling.
- Preheat oven to 350°f.
- Butterfly the pork loin. Sprinkle the top side of the butterflied loin with half of the 3/4 tsp of sea salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- Spread the filling evenly across the loin, leaving 1/2' border along the edge where you made the first cut.
- Beginning at the opposite edge, roll the loin up to wrap the filling.
- Using kitchen twine, tie the loin every 1 1/2" to hold its shape.
- Rub the loin with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Place the loin in a small roasting pan and position on the center rack of the oven.
- Roast for 1 hour, or until thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°f and the juices run clear.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.
- To prevent slices from unrolling, skewer the roast every 1/4" with wooden picks along the edge where the roll ends.
- Slice crosswise between the wooden picks and ties.
- Remove the kitchen twine before serving.
- Garnish with the sage leaves and rosemary sprigs.
