Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless pork loin
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 roll butcher's twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a roasting pan with a rack.

Step 2

Butterfly the pork loin: Using a sharp knife, slice the pork loin horizontally, stopping about 1 inch from the bottom. Open the pork loin like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine dried cranberries, chopped pecans, breadcrumbs, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Spread the cranberry stuffing mixture evenly over the flattened pork loin, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Carefully roll the pork loin tightly, starting from one of the short ends. Secure the roll by tying it with butcher's twine at 1-inch intervals.

Step 6

Rub the outside of the pork loin with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Place the stuffed pork loin on the rack in the prepared roasting pan, seam side down.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the pork loin from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Slice the pork loin into 1-inch thick pieces and serve warm. Pair with roasted vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
