Ingredients
  

  • ~3-pound pork loin I used 2 small ones
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ sweet onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios loosely chopped (60g)
  • ¼ cup dried cherries lightly chopped (40g)
  • 3 cups raw spinach chopped (85g)
  • ½ teaspoon ground sage plus some for sprinkling
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pull out all your ingredients.
  • First, prepare the pork loin. I was super disappointed that my package had 2 smaller ones instead of a larger one but decided to go with it.
    ~3-pound pork loin
  • These were so small I just kind of cut them down the middle and butterflied them.
  • Once cut, place plastic wrap on top and bang a little thinner to even them out some.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic.
    2 teaspoon olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, ½ sweet onion
  • Add the pistachios and cherries.
    ½ cup shelled pistachios, ¼ cup dried cherries
  • Cook for a minute or two before adding the spinach and sage. Cook until the spinach wilts down and all the flavors have a chance to merge.
    3 cups raw spinach, ½ teaspoon ground sage
  • Top the pork loin with the stuffing.
  • Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick or 2. Repeat with second loin if you have one.
  • Place the pork in a baking dish and sprinkle with a little kosher salt, pepper and sage.
    Kosher salt and ground pepper
  • Bake until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees and then let it rest for at least 5 minutes (this is to finish off cooking and help it hold together).
  • Slice thick and marvel at your yummy creation! (Lord knows the kids won't. 😉
