Indulge in Cozy Family Memories with Spiced Fruit Stuffed Pork Tender

Today, I am excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that always brings back memories of cozy family dinners on chilly fall evenings. This recipe for Spiced Fruit Stuffed Pork Tenderloin is a delicious twist on a classic pork dish that is sure to impress your guests or add a special touch to a weeknight meal.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:
– 500g pork tenderloin
– 100g dried apricots
– 75g pistachios
– 1 tbsp honey
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• meat mallet
• oven-safe skillet

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp chef’s knife, carefully butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing it lengthwise down the center, stopping just before you cut all the way through. Open up the tenderloin like a book and gently pound it with a meat mallet to an even thickness.

Next, finely chop the dried apricots and pistachios. In a small bowl, mix the chopped apricots, pistachios, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the butterflied pork tenderloin. Carefully roll the tenderloin back up and secure it with kitchen twine.

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Sear the stuffed pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the pork for 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender final dish.

The total weight of the cooked Spiced Fruit Stuffed Pork Tenderloin is approximately 700g. This recipe serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 175g. Each serving has an estimated calorie count of 300.

One clever tip for this dish is to brush the pork tenderloin with a mixture of honey and warm water before serving. This adds a beautiful glaze and extra sweetness to the dish, enhancing the flavors of the spiced fruit stuffing.

I encourage you to give this Spiced Fruit Stuffed Pork Tenderloin a try and make it your own by experimenting with different dried fruits or nuts. Enjoy creating this delicious and impressive dish for your next meal!
