Almond Crusted Pork Loin With Pear Stuffing

Stuffing:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 celery ribs, diced
3 sprigs fresh tarragon, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh-grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
4 fresh pears, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup toasted chopped almonds
4 slices homemade or good- quality store-bought bread, crumbled

Pork:
1 4 pound boneless pork loin, butterflied
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup dry white wine or 1 cup chicken stock
1 large yellow onion, cut in half
1/4 cup wildflower or other medium-colored honey
3/4 cup chopped almonds

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the stuffing: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, tarragon, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice, and saute, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the pears and saute for 5 minutes more. Stir in the toasted almonds and enough of the bread crumbs to bind the mixture together, and remove from the heat.

Lay the butterflied pork loin out on a work surface and season with the salt and white pepper. Spread the stuffing over the meat. Roll up the loin horizontally, starting with the long side. Tie the roll together at intervals with kitchen string. Place the tied and rolled pork loin in a roasting pan with the wine and onion. Roast, covered, for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat is 140 degrees. Remove from the oven but leave the oven on.

Remove the pork loin from the roasting pan and pour the pan juices into a saucepan. Paint the surface of the pork loin with the honey and roll the loin in the chopped almonds. Return the loin to the roasting pan and cook, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees, Meanwhile, bring the pan juices to a simmer.

Remove the kitchen string, slice the meat into spirals, and nap with the simmering juices.
Serves 10.
