Ingredients

• 4 pounds boneless pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 string for tying roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Start by butterflying the pork loin. Lay the roast flat on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, carefully slice horizontally so that the roast opens up like a book. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Cover the pork with plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1 inch.

Step 4

Rub 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning evenly onto the surface of the pork. Set aside.

Step 5

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until aromatic.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the breadcrumbs, chicken broth, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together slightly.

Step 8

Spread the stuffing evenly over the surface of the prepared pork loin, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.

Step 9

Carefully roll up the pork loin tightly, starting from one long side. Secure the roll with kitchen string, tying it evenly in several places to ensure it holds its shape.

Step 10

Rub the outside of the rolled pork roast with the olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining Cajun seasoning.

Step 11

Place the roast seam-side down in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet with a wire rack.

Step 12

Roast in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 13

Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Cut the roast into slices about 1 inch thick and serve. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
