Ingredients:

1 tsp

Salt

Directions:

1

Set the loin on a cutting board with one of the short, cut ends facing you

2

With a sharp knife, make a lengthwise horizontal cut, about a third of the way up one of the long sides, like asymmetrically splitting open a hot dog bun

3

Don’t cut all the way through, but nearly—far enough so that you can open up the roast like a book

4

If you started on the right, the left side will now be twice as thick as the right

5

At the hinge where they meet, make another horizontal cut midway up the left (thicker) side, so that you can open the roast again, like a magazine gatefold

6

Sprinkle the pork all over with the salt and pepper and set it aside

7

Heat the oven to 425°F and make the stuffing by mixing all the remaining ingredients together (except the cooking oil)

8

Spread the stuffing over the cut side of the pork loin, then roll it up and back into shape

9

Using cotton string, bind the roast with six little string belts

10

Heat a skillet to high, add the cooking oil, and then carefully lay in the pork roast

11

Brown the roast on all sides and then put the skillet in the oven

12

Roast until it is just cooked through, about 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it rest on a platter in a warm place for 10 minutes

13

Remove the strings, slice, and serve
