Cook time: 30 minutes
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 large pork tenderloin
10 button mushrooms, sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
9 short cut bacon pieces, diced
Salt & Pepper to taste
Small handful of parsley
Small handful of fresh basil
Small handful of fresh thyme
½ cup Free From Gluten Bread Crumbs
1 tbsp Gluten Free Worcestershire sauce
Olive oil, for cooking
¼ cup Gluten free chicken stock
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
- Cut any excess fat off your tenderloin. Make a slice down the middle of the tenderloin, but stop before you cut it in half completely (you want them to still be attached). Open the two halves like a butterfly and place a sheet of baking paper over the top. Using a meat cleaver, pound the meat until it’s around 1cm thick. Salt and pepper the meat.
- In a small deep pan, heat a splash of olive oil over a medium to high heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, bacon, parsley, basil, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes or until mushrooms have softened and the bacon is crispy.
- Add breadcrumbs and worcestershire sauce into the pan and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
- Add mixture onto the pork and begin to roll tightly (you want to roll the longer side!) once you meet the other side, secure with toothpicks.
- In a large pan, splash olive oil and heat to a medium heat. Sear the pork roll all over and then place into an oven safe dish.
- Add chicken stock into the dish and place in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove toothpicks and slice with a sharp knife. Slice and serve!
