Serves/Makes: 4
Ready in: 30-60 minutes

  • 3/4 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup loosely packed spinach leaves
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup snipped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg white, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 red bell peppers, roasted
  • OR
  • 1/2 jar (7 ounce size) roasted red pepper, drained
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red or white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 dash salt

Trim fat from the tenderloin. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut down the center of the tenderloin, cutting to but not through the other side. Spread the tenderloin open. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap.

Working from the center to the edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to form an 11 x 7-inch rectangle. Fold in the narrow end as necessary to make a uniform rectangle.

Remove stems from spinach leaves. Layer spinach leaves on top of each other; slice crosswise into thin strips. Stir together spinach, mushrooms, basil, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and egg white in a medium bowl.

Spread evenly over tenderloin. Roll up jelly-roll style, beginning at a short side. Tie with heavy cotton string at 1 1/2-inch intervals. Brush all surfaces of tenderloin with the 1 teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle with pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin.

FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan in a grill that has a cover. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place rolled tenderloin on the grill rack directly over the pan. Cover and grill till the meat thermometer registers 160°F or till tenderloin is slightly pink and juices run clear (25 to 30 minutes).

FOR A GAS GRILL, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Place tenderloin on the grill rack; cover and grill as above.

Meanwhile, for sauce, place the roasted peppers, the 2 teaspoons olive oil, wine vinegar, garlic, and salt in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend, using several on-off turns, till pureed.

Transfer sauce to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat till heated through.

To serve, remove strings from pork tenderloin. Slice tenderloin and serve with warm sauce.

NOTE: To roast sweet peppers, quarter peppers; remove stems, seeds, and membranes. Place pieces, cut sides down, on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Bake in a 425 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till skins are blistered and dark. Transfer peppers to a clean paper bag; close bag and let stand for 15 minutes. Using a sharp knife, peel skin from peppers in strips. Discard skins.
