Ingredients
Method
- Make a slit in the top center of the roast about 1¼ inch deep. Fill with Apple Stuffing. Brush opening with Dijon mustard, and press closed.
- Brush roast with olive oil and liberally shake on grill seasoning. Set aside until needed.
- Grill on a preheated charcoal grill, turning often, until internal temperature reaches 140°F.
- Remove and let rest 7 minutes. Serve.
Tips for the best Apple Stuffed Pork Loin
- Let the pork come up to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.
- Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 5 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Variations
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving ideas
Serve hot with rice, potatoes or crusty bread, and something green on the side.
