Ingredients/ Συστατικά
For Stuffing the Pork
  • 2 pork tenderloins
  • 2 thick slices of kasseri cheese cut in thick sticks (you can use cheddar or any other sharp cheese, not feta)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 25 gr. dry shiitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water
  • Salt, pepper and paprika
For the Honey Rub
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp mustard powder
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper
For the Wine Sauce
  • 1 cup red wine
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Whatever is leftover from the stuffing
  • Salt, pepper and paprika
  • Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
  1. Drain the water from the shiitake mushrooms.
  2. Chop them.
  3. In a skillet sauté the onion until soft.
  4. Add the pepper and continue to sauté until it becomes soft.
  5. Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for another couple of minutes.
  6. Salt pepper and add a pinch of paprika.
  7. Cut the tenderloins lengthwise and add some of the onion/mushroom stuffing and place two sticks of cheese lengthwise.
  8. Roll the tenderloin and cover them with parchment paper as in the pictures.
  9. Preheat oven in 200°C/400°F and bake for about 15 minutes.
  10. While the pork is baking prepare the rub by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl.
  11. After the 15 minutes take out the pork from the oven and remove the parchment paper.
  12. Rub the tenderloins with some of the rub and turn the oven to the broiler and place the pork under it.
  13. When that side takes a nice golden color, turn the tenderloins on the other side and rub them again with the honey rub.
  14. Place them again under the broiler so as for this side to take a nice golden color.
  15. While the pork is broiling make the sauce.
  16. In a pan add the stuffing leftovers (I had couple of tbsp. of stuffing) and sauté them for one minute.
  17. Pour the wine and let it boil until it remains half.
  18. Pour the stock and all the spices and sugar and continue to boil gently.
  19. If the sauce is a bit runny, thicken it with some corn starch dissolved in water.
  20. When the pork is done remove from the oven let it rest for five minutes and cut them in slices.
  21. Serve with the sauce over pasta or rice or even mashed potatoes or French fries.
