Try serving this delicious herb-stuffed pork loin with a fruited mustard garnish during the holidays. Since the butterfly pork loin is rolled into a pinwheel flecked with green herbs, it makes a festive presentation. The fruited mustard relish, tinged with honey, is fragrant with apples, currants, figs, pears, raisins, and orange zest. The best part is that both dishes can be prepared at least one day in advance.            

Herb Stuffed Porchetta

1 medium pork loin¼ C rosemary, chopped fine¼ C oregano, chopped fine¼ C basil, chopped fine½ bunch fresh parsley, chopped fine3 Tbs, garlic, chopped fine1 Tbs. salt 1 tsp. pepper

Butterfly the pork loin. Pound the pork lightly with a mallet to get a large and even surface. Salt & pepper the inside of the meat. Spread a layer of the herb & garlic mixture over the whole piece of meat. Roll evenly into a pinwheel. Truss the pork loin with butcher’s twine. Season the outside with salt and pepper. Sear all sides in a smoking hot cast iron pan until golden brown. Remove pork loin from hot pan and put on a cool sheet pan. Bake on 400 degrees until internal temperature has reached 150 degrees. Remove from oven & let rest for twenty minutes before slicing to serve.
