Ingredients

  • 2 –2½ lbs / 1-1.2kg. pork tenderloin butterflied
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple juice
  • ½ cup Riesling or other sweet white wine
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 small Gala apples peeled and diced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white mushrooms sliced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • cup dates chopped
  • 6 oz / 170g Feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

  • Let pork tenderloin rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, but not more than 2 hours, before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
  • Combine the apple juice and white wine in a small bowl and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean, dry work surface. Add the butterflied tenderloins on top of the plastic and cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap. Pound the meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is approximately ⅓”/1cm thick throughout. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add chopped apples, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and mushrooms and onion are browned, approximately 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
  • Add rosemary, cinnamon, and cloves to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the spices become fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped dates and crumbled Feta.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture onto the prepared pork tenderloins and roll up tightly. Secure the roasts with kitchen string or toothpicks.
  • Carefully transfer the tenderloins to a large roasting pan.
  • Use a pastry brush to coat the outside of each piece of pork with the apple juice/wine mixture, then pour half of the remaining liquid into the pan.
  • Sprinkle the pork lightly with salt and black pepper, if desired, before placing the pan into the preheated oven.
  • Baste the pork with the remaining apple and wine mixture every 10-15 minutes while it cooks. Check for doneness after 50 minutes and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads just below 145F/63C. (Temperature will increase while the meat rests).
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven and cover the pan loosely with foil. Leave to rest for 10-15 minutes before removing the kitchen string or toothpicks.
  • Slice and serve immediately with a drizzle of pan juices. Enjoy!
