Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. To prepare the stuffing, place all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed.

3. Butterfly (cut lengthwise almost all the way through) the pork loin. Butterfly again on the left side and on the right side.

4. Spread the stuffing evenly over the loin. Roll the loin up like a jelly roll and tie securely at 2- to 3-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
5. Place the loin in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt and black pepper.

6. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until internal temperature is 150-155. Let stand for 10 minutes.

7. Slice the pork, removing twine as necessary.
