Autumn Comfort: Butternut Squash and Apple Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and comforting recipe that perfectly captures the essence of autumn: Butternut Squash and Apple Stuffed Pork Tenderloin. As the weather gets cooler and the leaves start to change, there’s nothing better than a warm and hearty meal to enjoy with loved ones. This dish is a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors that will surely satisfy your autumn cravings.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:

• pork tenderloin (500g)
• butternut squash (200g)
• apple (1 large)
• onion (1 medium)
• garlic cloves (2)
• fresh sage (1 tbsp)
• dried cranberries (50g)
• walnuts (50g)
• olive oil
• salt and pepper

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

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• medium skillet
• baking dish
• meat thermometer

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Begin by peeling and dicing the butternut squash, apple, onion, and garlic. Sauté them in a skillet with olive oil until they are softened. Add in the fresh sage, dried cranberries, and walnuts for extra flavor and texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, carefully butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing it lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, to create a flap. Spread the butternut squash and apple stuffing evenly over the pork, then roll it up and secure with kitchen twine. Place the stuffed pork tenderloin in a baking dish and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the Butternut Squash and Apple Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete autumn meal.

This hearty dish weighs approximately 900g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 225g with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a drizzle of maple syrup over the stuffed pork tenderloin before roasting to caramelize the flavors and add a touch of sweetness to the dish.
