A Word From The Cook

“all the Mediterranean flavours”

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Onion (chopped)
• 1 Cup Mushrooms (chopped)
• 1/2 Cup Celery (chopped)
• 1/2 Cup Artichoke hearts (in oil – chopped)
• 1/2 Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes (in oil – chopped)
• 1/4 Cup Black Olives (chopped)
• 2 Cloves Garlic Crushed
• 1 1/2 Cups Bread Crumbs (I always use Gluten Free)
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing)
• 1/2 Tbsp Thyme
• 1 Tbsp Herbes de Provence
• 1 Boneless Pork Roast (3 – 4 lbs)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300° F
2. Cut the pork roast in half, stopping about 1/2 inch from going all the way through.    Using a meat mallet, flatten the roast until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion, celery and mushrooms until tender about 8 – 10 minutes.
4. Transfer to a large bowl and add the artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic bread crumbs and herbs.   Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Mix well until blended.   If it is dry, too dry, you can add a tablespoon or 2 of water.
5. Spoon the stuffing mixture on the flattened roast and roll from the long edge.   Secure the roast in at least 4 places (more if necessary) with butcher twine.
6. Roast in a baking dish @ 300° for 1 1/2 hours – a meat thermometer inserted into the centre should read 160° F.    Let the roast rest for about 15 minutes before removing the string and slicing.
