Italian Stuffed Pork Tenderloin is a great option for dinner parties or any special occasion. This recipe takes a classic Italian dish and gives it a new flavor twist. The savory stuffing with mushrooms, pecans, and herbs provides a unique texture and flavor to the juicy pork tenderloin. Serve with a side of steamed veggies and a glass of red wine for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
3.Add mushrooms and green onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
4.In a separate bowl, combine cooked rice, pecans, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt.
5.Add the sautéed mushroom mixture to the rice mixture and stir until well combined.
6.Butterfly the pork tenderloins by slicing them down the center, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom, then open the halves like a book.
7.Place the prepared stuffing evenly on each tenderloin then roll it up and secure with toothpicks.
8.Place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Pour the alfredo sauce and Chardonnay wine over the tenderloins.
9.Cover loosely with foil and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part of the meat.
10.Remove the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes until the pork is brown and crispy. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
