Prosciutto and pork loin rolls with herb-roasted potatoes
Ingredients
Prosciutto and pork loin rolls
Herb roasted potatoes
Preparation
In The Oven
Prosciutto and pork loin rolls
- Place oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a cutting board, remove excess fat from pork loin. Slice loin into 8 steaks, each about ¾ in. (2 cm) thick. Place steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten with a meat mallet until they are about ¼ in. (5 mm) thick. Remove plastic wrap. Season steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Spread 2 to 3 slices of prosciutto on a work surface so they overlap slightly. Place pork cutlet onto prosciutto and cover with 1½ tbsp. (22 mL) pesto. Add Parmesan. Roll up and repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Place 4 rolls in a line. Push a long wooden skewer through the 4 rolls so there is approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) of skewer at the end. Repeat from the other end of the rolls. You should be able to lift all 4 rolls at the same time. Adjust the rolls on the skewers so that there is little space between each roll. Repeat with remaining 4 rolls. Set aside.
Herb roasted potatoes
- In a bowl, combine oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and herbs.
- Place potatoes in a deep baking dish, about 13 in. x 9 in. (33 cm x 23 cm) and coat with oil mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes evenly.
- Place pork rolls on the baking dish so that the wooden skewers hold the pork rolls up and they barely touch the potatoes.
- Bake until the internal temperature of the rolls reaches 160°F (71°C), about 30 minutes. Remove pork rolls from baking dish and transfer to a large plate. Cover with aluminum foil and keep warm. Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
- Stir potatoes and return to oven. Continue cooking for 30 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
- Serve skewers and potatoes on a large serving plate. Serve with green salad.
