Description:

The pork industry is undergoing an evolution in order to meet changing consumer palates. On average, the most common cuts of pork have 16 percent less total fat and 27 percent less saturated fat than they did nearly twenty years ago. In fact, pork tenderloin is now as lean as the leanest type of chicken (skinless chicken breast). It is important that consumers are aware of the benefits of eating lean pork, as pork is naturally nutrient-dense and offers potential health benefits as well. This dish is so easy to make!

Ingredients

1
tbsp (15mL) fresh rosemary leaves
3
tbsp (45mL) extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2
small pork tenderloins
1
Bartlett or Anjou pear, sliced thin
4
oz. (120g) 1-year-old cheddar cheese, sliced
6
slices prosciutto

Directions

1.
Purée rosemary and oil in the blender and season. Cut tenderloins open lengthways and brush inside with rosemary purée. Cover with overlapping slices of pear and cheddar. Close up tenderloins and brush outside with rosemary purée. Roll each tenderloin up in 3 slices of prosciutto, tie or close with big toothpicks that have been soaked in water. Season.
2.
Oil the grill and preheat barbecue to medium-high. Cook tenderloins 4 to 5 minutes per side for meat with a hint of pink. Remove from heat, tent with foil and let stand about 5 minutes before serving. Slice and serve with grilled vegetables and herbed noodles.
3.
The Culinary Chase's Note: I stuffed the tenderloin with the prosciutto and the flavors coming from the pear and cheddar make this tenderloin absolutely delicious! Instead of making the purée, finely chop the rosemary and mix in a bowl. Use a pastry brush to slather this on the pork and enjoy a more rustic taste.
