Pork Tenderloin Stuffed with Goat Cheese, Spinach, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes – Recipe
You already know from my previous post, that I stocked up on well priced pork loin, and will share my new recipes.
This time I tried a recipe for Pork Loin stuffed with a mixture of sauteed spinach with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream, with some modifications.
I decided to use Dijon Mustard and spices topping, rather than olive oil and spices.
As a side dish for this meat, I prepared cooked brown rice, flavored with onions sauteed in the leftover olive oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, and seasoned with parsley flakes, salt and pepper.

- 2.3 lbs Pork Tenderloin, trimmed of fat and membrane

Mustard Sauce
Instructions
- Cut the meat horizontally 1 inch thickness from the bottom towards the center, but not cutting it through.
- Then cut again from center towards the other end, also about 1 inch thickness, to turn the tenderloin into a rectangular piece of meat about 1 inch, or so, in thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in sauce pan, and saute the onions until lightly golden, add chopped garlic and saute for a minute.
- Rinse fresh spinach, shake off excess water, remove stems.
- Mix in spinach into the sauteed onions and garlic.
- Add the thawed, squeezed dry spinach, and wine, and saute for a minute.
- Remove from heat, and mix in the sun-dried chopped tomatoes, goat cheese, cream cheese and sour cream, salt and pepper.
- Spread the filling over the meat, leaving at least an inch margin all around the meat rectangle.
- Roll up first 1/3 of meat over the filling towards center, then roll the opposite end of meat over the first one, also towards the center, to form a roll.
- Secure the ends and the seam with toothpicks, or use a kitchen twine to fasten the roll.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the pork roll in a shallow baking pan, pour the mustard sauce over it, and bake, uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until the meat thermometer placed in the center of the roll, and reads 155 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mix all ingredients, to incorporate and spread evenly over the top and sides of the pork roll.
