Ingredients
  

For the Pork
  • 1 pound Pork Tenderloin Choose fresh, pink ones with marbling for the best texture.
For the Stuffing
  • 5 ounces Goat Cheese Offers a creamy tang; can substitute with mozzarella or Gruyère for a milder flavor.
  • 1 cup Cranberry Sauce Adds a sweet acidity; opt for whole berry sauce for enhanced taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Sage) Brings earthy depth; thyme or rosemary are good alternatives if needed.
  • 1 cup Spinach Brightens up the dish with color and nutrients; use fresh for best results.
  • 1 medium Onion Enhances aroma and sweetness; caramelize before using to avoid watery stuffing.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Infuses a fragrant kick; fresh garlic is best for optimal flavor.

Equipment

  • Roasting pan
  • Large skillet
  • sharp knife
  • Kitchen twine or toothpicks

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and spray a roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add chopped onions and caramelize for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Sauté fresh spinach with minced garlic until wilted, then combine with caramelized onions.
  4. Butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing it lengthwise, leaving ½ inch uncut.
  5. Season the inside with salt and pepper, then layer with cranberry sauce, spinach, onions, and goat cheese.
  6. Roll the tenderloin tightly from one end and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks. Season exterior with salt and pepper.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140-145°F (60-63°C).
  8. Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
