Wild Rice-Stuffed Pork Loin Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 2 hours + standing
  • Yield: 8-10 Servings
20 120 140

Ingredients

  • 1 whole boneless pork loin roast (4 pounds), trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups wild rice, cooked and drained
  • 1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped dried apricots
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 3/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 5 bacon strips, cut in half

Directions

  • Cut roast down the center lengthwise to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast so it lies flat. On each half, make a lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the rice, apricots, onion, celery, parsley, sage, thyme and broth. Divide half of the stuffing among the three slits. Roll up roast from a long side; tie with kitchen string at 2-in. intervals. Place the remaining stuffing in a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish; set aside.
  • Bake roast, uncovered, at 350° for 2 hours. Carefully remove string. Place bacon strips over top. Bake 30-45 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
  • Cover and bake reserved stuffing for 30 minutes or until heated through. Let roast stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 8-10 servings.
