By Totlxtc

Ingredients

• 6 * 6 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
• 2 * 2 tablespoons raisins
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup chopped apple
• 1 * 1 celery rib, chopped
• 2 * 2 tablespoons chopped onion
• 1 * 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1-1/2 * 1-1/2 cups fat-free Caesar croutons
• 2 * 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/8 * 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 * 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)

Preparation

Step 1

* In a small saucepan, bring 4 tablespoons broth to a boil. Remove from the heat; add raisins. Let stand for 5 minutes.
* In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray; saute the apple, celery and onion for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; stir in the broth mixture, croutons, nuts, pepper and the remaining broth.
* Make a lengthwise slit down the center of the roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/2-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap; fill with stuffing mixture. Close roast; tie at 2-in. intervals with kitchen string and secure ends with toothpicks.
* Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Yield: 3 servings.
