About the Recipe

Ingredients

Pork Stuffing:

1 ½ lb pork tenderloin

2 oz pancetta

6 oz spinach, cleaned

2 oz chèvre cheese

2 dashes salt and pepper


Sauce:

10 oz heavy cream

2 oz Calvados or apple brandy

2 dashes lemon juice

2 dashes salt and pepper

2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

1 apple, peeled, diced


Potatoes:

2 oz chopped parsley

2 potatoes, peeled and sliced

10 oz oil, frying

Preparation

Clean the spinach and sauté in butter and season with salt and pepper; drain any liquid from the spinach. Butterfly the pork out, lay the thinly sliced pancetta on the pork, then spinach and the goat cheese. Roll the pork into a pinwheel and tie. Season and sear off in a hot pan with oil on all sides. Remove from the pan and place in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes until medium; let stand


Add the cream, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in the same saucepan and reduce the cream until it thickens. Peel the apple, dice it into ½ inch cubes, and add to the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then add the Calvados. Keep warm until the potatoes are done


Slice the potato very thin and fry in oil until golden brown; remove and drain the oil. Lay out the potato slices in a pinwheel effect. Take the pork, slice it on a bias, lay it on the potatoes, and drizzle the sauce over the pork. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley
