Roasted Pork Loin Stuffed with Baby Spinach, Mushrooms and Pine Nuts
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for the pan
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
- 1 (5.0-ounce) package baby spinach
- 3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt divided
- 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1 (2.0-pound) center-cut boneless pork loin roast, butterflied
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they start to brown and release their liquid, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add spinach and cook until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper and stir in pine nuts. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season pork all over with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Spread cooled spinach-mushroom mixture evenly over pork, leaving a border around the edges.
Roll up or fold in half like a book and tie pork at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork, seam side down, and brown for 3 to 4 minutes, then brown the remaining sides and ends.
Transfer pork to a roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 150°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let pork rest for 10 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve.
