Yesterday, in the middle of my disaster-zone of a kitchen, we made a fabulous Sunday dinner that I thought you might enjoy. This recipe is adapted from Paula Deen and is perfect for a cozy winter meal. Get it started in the afternoon, pop in the oven and then relax with a glass of wine while your house fills up with a delicious aroma!
Before we dive into the roast recipe, I’m excited to tell you that I’m {slowly} adding printable, text-only links to the recipes I post! {Check out my sidebar on the right for a list of recipes .} Eventually each recipe will have a print link and I certainly hope you enjoy this new feature of my humble lil’ blog. In a few weeks I’ll also have a brand-new design for Shine Your Light and I hope it will make your navigation over here even better.
Without further ado, I present to you a dish that everyone, even the picky eaters at my table, enjoyed tremendously.
Apple Stuffed Pork Roast
Print Recipe
Adapted from Paula Deen/Food Network 2007
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
6 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped (I used Gala because that’s what I had on hand)
4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
2 cups thick-cut white bread, crusts removed, cubed (I used regular white bread – see below!)
1 egg, beaten
salt & pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 lb. pork roast
Preheat oven to 375.
In large skillet, heat 3 T olive oil and add onion, apple and sage. Saute until onion is transluscent.
Remove from heat and stir in bread, egg, salt & pepper to taste. Add chicken broth and stir until everything is moistened. Let the stuffing cool completely before adding to pork. {Except for the fact that there is raw egg in here, I could’ve eaten this whole pan with a that spoon right there! That’s some yummy stuffing, I tell ya. Mmmmm.}
Now for a real-life shortcut:
Trim most of the fat from the pork roast. Butterfly the roast by slicing the pork 2/3 of the way through as shown.
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the roast and pound with meat mallet:

Stuffed pork – yum! The apples and sage in the stuffing sound delicious. Love the picture of your husband tenderizing the meat! Your kitchen must-haves post is fun. My All-Clad pans are my must have! They are a joy to cook with and like you said – worth the investment! I'm pretty sure I'll be using them the rest of my life!
