I recently received another awesome pork delivery from Murray Valley Pork. Whilst my husband is still waiting to meet Manu, I am just excited to create new and exciting recipes with the pork – like this rolled pork loin. I thought to myself, ‘how can I make pork better?’ and the answer is add more pork! Or prosciutto to be more specific.
I thought that I would season the pork with sage, garlic, lemon zest, sea salt and pepper and then roll it in prosciutto to be pan seared and then finished off in the oven. I added some deliciously creamy mashed potatoes, steamed green beans and some fresh, sliced pear and thought what a dish {worthy of MKR if I don’t say so myself}.
But wait, as Manu always says ‘Where is the sauce?’… So I whipped up a quick gravy and dinner was served.
ROLLED PORK LOIN
1 pork loin
1 bunch of sage
3 cloves of garlic
1 lemon
12 slices of prosciutto
6 potatoes
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of milk
2 handfuls of green beans
1 ripe pear
gravy*
Lay out your prosciutto onto a piece of glad wrap. Sprinkle your chopped sage, crushed garlic and lemon zest over the prosciutto, season with salt and pepper and then roll your pork loin.
Sear the pork loin in a hot pan and then transfer to a 180 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
Whilst the pork is in the oven, boil your potatoes, steam your green beans, slice the pear and whip up your gravy.
Allow the pork to rest for 15 minutes before you slice and serve.
*I often used this recipe and have extra drippings frozen in cubes for when I need them.
Do you eat pork often? What is your favourite pork dish? Are you a crackle fan? And remember if you cook this dish I would love to see it on Instagram #goodfoodweek
I would say better than MKR Shari! prosciutto and pork – yum!
This looks great Shari. I will have to give it a go. Thanks for sharing on YWF too.
Thanks Vicki – it is mighty tasty.
I don’t watch MKR but that dish looks mighty fine, I’m sure Manu would give it his seal of approval! Nice work, lady!
Oh man, it’s our favourite TV show at the moment. But I am getting a little annoyed with the characters they have chosen to ‘push’ this season – who have knocked out better cooks – but are nasty and just there to cause tension. I want to watch for the cooking not for the B***S***.
