- CHEF'S SECRET ON STUFFING THIS PORK TENDERLOIN: Step 1: On work surface cut pork almost in half lengthwise, leaving 1/2"-thick hinge at bottom.
- Step 2: Open up pork. Using a meat mallet lb. pork till it is an even 1/2" thickness throughout. (They recommend which if you do not have a mallet, use a foil-covered can instead)
- Step 3: Season the pounded surface with salt and pepper and spread with apricot preserves. Spoon garlic mix over preserves to within 1/2" of edge.
- Step 4: Starting at long side, roll up pork jellyroll style. Tie in several places with kitchen string.
- NOTES : It's very good! It came from Eat-L originally. It shows at 6 servings for a lb. of meat, but which would make very little slices. I think it's more like 3 or possibly 4 servings.
