Prosciutto and Spinach Stuffed Pork Loin

I’m finally breaking my vegetarian streak with this Prosciutto and Spinach stuffed pork loin. After this past weekend of immense rest, my body finally feels normal again, and I no longer have to pump it full of vitamins. Not that this pork loin is junk food by any means, but it is double meat stuffed with cheese, which is not something I could eat every day.

Pork is a great meat to stuff. Its like a blank canvas. Light. Mild. Easy to roll up and tie with string. For today I stuffed it with prosciutto, spinach and feta, but I can imagine it a million ways. What about stuffing it with delicious seasonal peaches? Or perhaps a southwest version stuffed with chipotle peppers and rice? Pretty much anything you have laying around the kitchen or pantry you could stuff into a pork tenderloin. Ok, maybe not that extra bag of chocolate chips. Just sayin’
