Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 4 medium Yellow onions
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 4 small Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Crispy fried onions
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thinly slice 3 of the yellow onions and mince the garlic cloves. Reserve 1 onion for the topping.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Butterfly the pork loin: Place it fat side down on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut horizontally through the center of the meat, stopping about 1 inch from the edge to keep it attached. Open the pork like a book.

Step 5

Season the pork loin on all sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme.

Step 6

Spread the cooled caramelized onions evenly over the open pork loin. Roll the pork tightly and secure with kitchen twine every 2 inches.

Step 7

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed pork loin on all sides until golden brown. Transfer to a roasting pan.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and a tablespoon of melted butter until combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pork loin.

Step 9

Pour the chicken broth into the roasting pan around the pork loin. Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 10

Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining onion. Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onion slices and cook until crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 11

Remove foil from the roasting pan and bake the pork loin for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 12

Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Top the sliced pork with crispy fried onions and serve with pan juices from the roasting pan.
