Ripping Off Recipes

I usually come up with my recipes all on my own. If I use a recipe, I will give credit to the original person. This is one of those recipes! I stole it right off Skinny Taste’s website. It looked so good, though. I couldn’t help it.

The Zucchini is my own recipe, if you want to call it a recipe. The pictures are also mine, but I copied her plating.

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Recipe from Skinny Taste

Makes 4 Servings

• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
• 1 1/2 oz reduced fat mozzarella cheese (Polly-o)
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• 2 tbsp chopped sun dried tomatoes
• 1 oz thin sliced prosciutto
• salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Combine crushed garlic, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, and pepper; mix well. Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the tenderloin to within 1/2- inch of bottom (careful not to cut all the way through). Open tenderloin so it lies flat. On each half, make another, lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2-inch of bottom; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness with a mallet. Remove plastic wrap; spread 1/2 of the garlic/Dijon mixture on the inside of the pork.Layer the cheese, spinach, and proscuitto on top, press down gently. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Tie the roast at 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch intervals with kitchen string. Season lightly with salt, and remaining garlic/Dijon mixture. Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan.Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Place under the broiler to brown the top for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter or cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes before removing string and slicing.
