Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
• 4 slices Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Slice it into thin, wide strips around 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced parsley, and finely minced garlic.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and stir well to create a moist filling. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Lay out each pork strip on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the surface of each strip.

Step 5

Roll each pork strip tightly into a spiral and secure it with a skewer. If the strips are long, use one skewer per roll or thread multiple rolls onto one skewer.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking.

Step 7

Grill the spiedini for about 2-3 minutes per side, cooking evenly until the pork is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). If baking, place the spiedini on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 8

Serve the Pork Spiedini hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
