Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Main Course
- 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
- 4 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp water
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- ½ tsp cardamom
- ½ tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper
- 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
- Drain the water from the shiitake mushrooms.
- Chop them.
- In a skillet sauté the onion until soft.
- Add the pepper and continue to sauté until it becomes soft.
- Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for another couple of minutes.
- Salt pepper and add a pinch of paprika.
- Cut the tenderloins lengthwise and add some of the onion/mushroom stuffing and place two sticks of cheese lengthwise.
- Roll the tenderloin and cover them with parchment paper as in the pictures.
- Preheat oven in 200°C/400°F and bake for about 15 minutes.
- While the pork is baking prepare the rub by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl.
- After the 15 minutes take out the pork from the oven and remove the parchment paper.
- Rub the tenderloins with some of the rub and turn the oven to the broiler and place the pork under it.
- When that side takes a nice golden color, turn the tenderloins on the other side and rub them again with the honey rub.
- Place them again under the broiler so as for this side to take a nice golden color.
- While the pork is broiling make the sauce.
- In a pan add the stuffing leftovers (I had couple of tbsp. of stuffing) and sauté them for one minute.
- Pour the wine and let it boil until it remains half.
- Pour the stock and all the spices and sugar and continue to boil gently.
- If the sauce is a bit runny, thicken it with some corn starch dissolved in water.
- When the pork is done remove from the oven let it rest for five minutes and cut them in slices.
- Serve with the sauce over pasta or rice or even mashed potatoes or French fries.
