Lombo de Porco Recheado

Ingredients

Pork loin

1.5 kg (3.3 lbs)

Smoked ham

200 g (7 oz), thinly sliced

Sausage

200 g (7 oz), cut into small pieces

Cheese

200 g (7 oz), sliced or grated

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

White wine

150 ml (5 oz)

Olive oil

3 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Kitchen twine

for securing the pork

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Carefully make a lengthwise cut in the pork loin, ensuring not to cut all the way through, to create a pocket for the stuffing.
3. Generously stuff the pocket of the pork loin with slices of smoked ham, pieces of sausage, and cheese.
4. Once stuffed, close the pork loin and secure it with kitchen twine to hold the filling inside.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together minced garlic, white wine, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
6. Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan and pour the garlic and wine mixture evenly over it, allowing the flavors to infuse.
7. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1.5 hours, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 70°C or 160°F) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the pork loin rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
9. Slice the pork loin into thick pieces and serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
