Ingredients
- 1lb pork tenderloin
- 15 pepperoni slices
Filling:
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sage
- ½ teaspoon basil
- 1/2 cup water
- A pinch of salt
Recipe
1) Cut the pork tenderloin lengthwise and start tenderising the meat with a meat mallet. Pound the pork evenly over the whole surface. Don’t forget to flip it over and tenderise the other side as well. You’re done when the tenderloin is as thin as a schnitzel.
2) Prepare the mixture of mayonnaise, cream cheese, sage, and basil. Mix the ingredients together until they form a smooth sauce. Once the mixture is done, rub the inside of the pork tenderloin with it and make a roll. Leave the roll for half an hour in the fridge to chill.
3) Once chilled, take the pork tenderloin out of the fridge and spread out the roll. Layer the pepperoni slices evenly across the middle, then roll the tenderloin back up. Clinch the ends of the roll with toothpicks or a cooking thread.
4) In your favorite cooking pot add water, olive oil, and place the pork roll inside. Sprinkle the pork with a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and put it in the oven at 200°C. Roast the meat for 50 minutes to an hour, until well browned and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
5) 25 minutes into cooking, flip the pork roll so it can get brown on all sides. Don’t forget to return the foil on top of the pan.
6) 10 minutes before the meat is done, remove the foil and continue roasting until done.
