Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 thin slices deli ham (1/2 ounce each)

Directions

  • Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open tenderloin so it lies flat. On each half, make another, lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2 in. of bottom; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap; sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon celery salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Layer with the cheese, spinach and ham. Press down gently.
  • Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie the roast at 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch intervals with kitchen string. Sprinkle with remaining celery salt, garlic powder and pepper. Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Transfer to a serving platter. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 4 servings.

This recipe was super easy to make. I was worried about the tenderness and moistness of the pork because it wasnt covered, and was scared it would dry out. BOY WAS I WRONG! Tender, juicy, and wonderful flavor! My daughter and even my husband are very picky eaters (i dont how i survive because i love all foods! lol) and BOTH of them loved this.

I used Proscuitto instead of ham - and it was delish!

This recipe was delicious and SO easy. It looks complicated and elegant but it was very simple. I served it with mashed baby reds.
