Ingredients

Makes 8 servings

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Butterfly pork loin to prepare for stuffing: Make one long deep slice lengthwise through pork loin, leaving at least 3/4 inch uncut; open loin like book. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and pound into 1/2-thick piece.

  3. Spread risotto in even layer, about 1/4-inch thick, stopping about 1 inch from long edge of tenderloin. Roll tenderloin tightly and tie securely with butcher’s twine every 1 inch. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Place pork on rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to preheated oven and roast until internal temperature reaches 150°F.

  5. Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Roast, checking every few minutes, until exterior is rich brown color and crispy, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and cover loosely with foil; rest 5 minutes. Remove twine then slice to serve.
