To make the perfect stuffing for pork loin, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 pound of bread, preferably a mix of white and whole wheat
– 1/2 cup of butter, melted
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup of celery, chopped
– 1/2 cup of carrots, chopped
– 1/4 cup of parsley, chopped
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
– 1/4 teaspoon of dried rosemary
– 1/4 teaspoon of dried sage
– 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
– 1/2 cup of chicken or beef broth
Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your pork loin by seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste.
2.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrots, and sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried sage, and paprika. Stir to combine.
4.
In a separate bowl, cut the bread into small pieces and toss with the melted butter. Add the buttered bread to the mixing bowl with the vegetables and herbs.
5.
Drizzle the chicken or beef broth over the bread and vegetable mixture, and stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.
6.
Open the pork loin and create a pocket by slicing it horizontally but not all the way through. Stuff the mixture into the pocket, making sure to pack it in tightly.
7.
Secure the pork loin with toothpicks or kitchen twine, and place it in a roasting pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8.
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the stuffed pork loin with your favorite side dishes and enjoy your delicious homemade stuffing!
