Ingredients

• 1 piece pork loin
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 1 stalk celery
• 2 cups torn bread
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• to taste none salt
• to taste none pepper
• 3 pieces kitchen twine
• 3 tablespoons water

Method

1. Begin by collecting all necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt some margarine. Add in chopped onions, mushrooms, and celery, cooking them until they soften, which should take about 12 minutes.
3. After the vegetables are tender, transfer them to a bowl. Mix in torn bread, ensuring it is well moistened, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Take the pork loin and slice it in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, keeping an inch at the bottom intact. Open it up like a book.
5. Cover the opened pork with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound it flat. Remove the plastic wrap afterward.
6. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the flattened pork loin.
7. Roll the pork loin over the stuffing carefully and secure it using kitchen twine in three places.
8. Place the rolled pork in a roasting pan and season it with thyme, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour about 3 tablespoons of water around the roast in the pan.
9. Roast in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer reads 160°F (70°C) for the stuffing, which should take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Once done, let it rest for 15 minutes before untieing the twine and slicing.
