Preparation
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the herb and olive oil rub ingredients. Set aside until ready for use.
- Over low heat, cook spinach with olive oil, garlic cloves and salt & pepper to taste. Cook spinach 1-2 minutes just until wilted.
- Transfer the cooked spinach to a large bowl. Add ricotta, parmesan, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Lay out the pork loin, butterfly and pound until flat and even. Spread the spinach and cheese mix on the pork loin.
- Roll so that the spinach and cheese mix is on the inside. Secure with cooking twine.
- Rub the herb and oil mix all over the rolled pork. Sear on all sides until golden and slightly crispy. Set aside.
- Spread carrots, onions and potatoes on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Place rolled pork on top of the bed of carrots, onions and potatoes.
- Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (65°C) for medium rare or 160°F (70°C) for medium.
- Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 15 minutes before you remove the twine and slice.
- Serve with carrots, onions and potatoes.
- Enjoy!
