Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (approx. 1 lb)
1/2 tsp celery salt (divided)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (divided)
1/2 tsp black pepper (divided)
4 slices Provolone cheese
4 slices of deli tavern ham
2 cups fresh spinach
Directions: Preheat oven to 425°
Cut tenderloin lengthwise down center to within 1” of bottom and butterfly open. Lay tenderloin flat and flatten using a mallet and wax paper to 1/4 inch thickness. Add half the seasonings to meat then layer with ham, cheese and spinach in that order. Roll up jellyroll-style starting with the long side then secure it with kitchen string at 2” intervals. Sprinkle the outside with remaining seasonings and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 160°. Transfer to platter and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into serving portions. Serve on a bed of rice pilaf.
Enjoy.
