Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Pesto

Recipe Description:

I’m not a big fan of eating pork, but this pork tenderloin has just about changed my mind. Favorite cuts of pork now include bacon and tenderloin.

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Servings: 6 - 8

Difficulty: Moderate

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pork tenderloin

1/4 cup basil pesto

2/3 c. plain greek yogurt

1/2 c. chopped bell pepper

1/2 c. chopped mushrooms

salt and pepper

Recipe Instructions:

Take a pork tenderloin and butterfly it. Spread it out, cover it with plastic wrap, and use a mallet to pound it out to about 1/2" thick.

Spread the basil pesto over the tenderloin.

Cover in 1/3 c. plain greek yogurt.

I diced up 1/4 each red and yellow bell peppers to stuff it with, plus mushrooms. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables. Lay them out along the middle of the flattened tenderloin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roll it up (this might mean just folding it in half, depending on how big it is and how stuffed it is), and set it seam-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Cover in another 1/3 c. plain greek yogurt.

Bake on 375*F for 20 - 30 minutes until a meat thermometer reaches 140* in the thickest part of the meat.

Slice and serve!
