I recently bought a fresh bunch of sage. It sat in my fridge for a few days and started to make me nervous. How was I going to use all that sage up? I thought about many different recipes, but then I came up with one recipe to really pack a powerful sage punch... Sage Pesto. I thought a mild and lean pork loin would make a perfect canvas to allow the sage pesto to shine so I went to work on making the stuffed pork. Once I stuffed the pork loin I needed something to make sure it stayed put. I didn't have any kitchen twine so I decided I would use some pork twine... also known as bacon. The bacon was like magic because it basted the pork loin and all I had to do was stick it in the oven and let it roast. Add your favorite vegetable or sides (I roasted some cauliflower and served it over spinach). Dinner was so elegant that I wished I had company to show it off to. :)Ingredients:
Pork loin (most packages give you two)
Sage Pesto (see pesto recipe below)
6-8 strips of bacon
Pesto Ingredients:1/2 cup of sage leaves
1/4 cup of toasted walnuts
seasoning salt and red pepper flakes to taste
2 Tbs of olive oil
Directions: Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and grind until it forms a thick paste.
