Ingredients
- 2-3 lb pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- For the Herb Stuffing
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the Glaze (Optional)
- 1/4 cup sugar-free Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- 1.Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it down the middle, but not all the way through, and then open it like a book. Use a meat mallet to flatten it to an even thickness.
- 2.In a bowl, mix together the parsley, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the inside surface of the pork loin.
- 3.Roll the pork loin tightly over the stuffing, starting from one end to the other. Tie the rolled pork loin with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals to secure it.
- 4.Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 5.In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
- 6.Brush the pork loin with the glaze (if using) and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C).
- 7.Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to be redistributed.
- 8.Remove the kitchen twine, slice the pork loin, and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance.
- 9.Serve your Keto Herb-Stuffed Pork Loin as your Easter Sunday lunch star, accompanied by keto-friendly sides, for a complete and festive meal.
