Pork Tenderloin Blackened & Stuffed

By Gibby

This recipe is based on 7 on Fulton recipe but I have modified things considerably based on traditional cooking methods for the blackening process. The seasoning is more traditional and I have added oil (canola oil) for the preparation. Butter is traditional but not good for you. canola has high flash point and is better for cholesterol reduction.
