Ingredients
-
One pork tenderloin
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 sausages, no skin
-
2 small onions, finely diced
-
A small bunch of sage leaves (roughly 10 leaves), roughly chopped
-
4 tbsp breadcrumbs
-
6 slices of parma ham
-
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
-
100 ml white wine
-
100 ml single cream
-
1 x 700g jar of Bold Bean Co Queen Butter Beans (or 2 x 400g tins), drained
-
100 g spinach
-
A squeeze of lemon juice
For the sauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200C
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Season the tenderloin well with salt and brown in a pan for a few minutes on each side until golden. Set aside.
Lower the heat of the pan and add half of the onions with a pinch of salt, cook for a couple of minutes until soft and then put them in a mixing bowl with the sage, breadcrumbs and sausage meat. Season well and mix together with your hands.
Slice the tenderloin open like a book, keeping it attached. Fill it with the stuffing.
Lay the sheets of parma ham on your work top, slightly overlapping. Lay the tenderloin on top and wrap it up tightly. Roast on a lined baking tray for 25 mins.
To make the sauce
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan and cook the rest of the onions until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more.
Add the wine and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes until reduced then add the cream, butter beans and spinach. Break up some of the beans with your hands as you add them to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 5 mins, wilting the spinach.
Finally, season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
When the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes, loosely covered in tin foil.
Slice into 8 slices and serve two person with a quarter of the sauce.
