An elegant and delicious stuffed pork roast
entrée for a special occasion.
Roasted Pork Loin
with Apple-Caraway Stuffing
- 2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tart green apples, cored, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
Zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
Salt and pepper
4 pound boned pork loin
1 cup apple cider
1 cup sour cream
2 ounces white wine
- Melt the butter over low heat and cook
onions until translucent, and then remove the onions from heat.
Fold in the bread crumbs, apples, raisins, orange zest, and caraway,
and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Cut a pocket into the pork loin between
the meat and outer layer of fat, the pocket should be shy of
reaching each end of the loin by one inch. Fill the pocket with
the stuffing. Roll loin up lengthwise closing the stuffed pocket
and tie with a string. Score the rind of pork with a sharp knife.
- Whisk together cider and sour cream and
place in a casserole equal to the size of the pork. Place pork
in casserole rind side down and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes turn pork over and cook,
rind side up, for another 30 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and
cook for another hour (baste every 20 minutes with the pan juices)
or until you reach a internal temperature of 150°F
(65°C). Let rest for 20 minutes.
- Deglaze the roasting pan with 2 ounces
white wine and season. Slice the meat and serve with the jus.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
