Rosa di Parma Pork Tenderloin

This Italian style stuffed pork tenderloin is a celebration of two iconic products from Parma: Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. These exquisite ingredients are delicately nestled inside the pork tenderloin, the most tender cut of pork. Each slice of the tenderloin resembles a beautiful rose, revealing the intricate layers of meat, prosciutto, and cheese, all accented by the aromatic herb blend. It's no wonder this dish is called "Parma di Rosa" – the Rose of Parma.

To store: The pork tenderloin should be in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat or serve cold.
  • To butterfly the pork loin, use a sharp chef's knife or filleting knife. Cut lengthwise 1/3 from the bottom, while holding the top with the other hand. After cutting the 2/3 of the way in, turn it 45°. Make another incision not cutting all the way through. Rotate again, and make another incision. You should have a flat sheet relatively with the same thickness.
  • If you don't have kitchen twine, secure the roll with toothpicks to prevent it from unrolling during cooking.
  • Ensure the pork loin reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) using an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part.
  • After cooking, let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes on a wooden board, lightly covered with foil, before slicing.
