Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 1 small red skinned apple, cored and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh sage or 1 Tbsp (15 mL) dried sage (not ground)
  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb/500g each)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper, divided
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small red skinned apple, very thinly sliced
Imperial – Metric

Instructions

  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, apple and garlic for about 5 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, parsley, sage and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the salt; set aside.
  • Slice each tenderloin halfway through centre and open like a book, making sure not to cut through. Place between parchment paper and pound each tenderloin to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each of the salt and pepper and spread with half of the mustard.
  • Place 1 flattened tenderloin over top of 4 pieces of kitchen string (large enough to wrap around both tenderloins). Press stuffing onto tenderloin to cover surface. Top with other flattened tenderloin placing wide end over the thin end of the bottom tenderloin. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Tuck ends under and press together. Spread mustard all over roast. Top with apple slices across the top. Tie strings around roast and trim any excess. (Make-ahead: this can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Preheat grill to medium heat (around 350 ºF/180 ºC). Turn off one side of the grill and place roast on unlit side. Close lid and grill (keeping the grill temperature around 350 ºF (180 ºC) for about 1 hour or until meat thermometer reaches 155 ºF (68 ºC). Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil for about 10 minutes. Carefully slice to serve, removing string as you slice.

Notes
