  • About
There are several ways in which pork tenderloins can be stuffed. The first shown here splits a whole tenderloin so that it can be opened out, flattened slightly, stuffed and reshaped; the second goes one step further and ties two split tenderloins together around a stuffing to make a larger, more substantial joint. Both can be roasted or braised as they are, or wrapped in streaky bacon before tying.
  1. Cut the tenderloin lengthwise two-thirds of the way through with a chef’s knife. Open out and pound gently to flatten.

  2. Spread stuffing of your choice along the centre of the tenderloin and roll it up lengthwise to enclose the stuffing. Tie with kitchen string.
