    Do you go out on Valentine’s Day, or do you stay home? Personally, I prefer to stay home and avoid the crowds and fixed menus. I hate being told which three items I am allowed to choose from! I would rather create a delicious meal at home…and then go out on a completely different night for a nice relaxing meal.

    This Tuscan Stuffed Pork Loin that I served on Creamy Parmesan Polenta and drizzled with Balsamic Glaze looks just as fancy as any restaurant meal, but it is really easy to prepare.

    Before we start, I have a question. Do pork tenderloins always come in two pieces? I was under the impression that it was one big piece that you pound out, fill, and roll up. I cannot find this magical "whole" tenderloin so we are using these.

    This meal was amazing! The pork is tender and juicy, the filling is flavorful, and the balsamic glaze ties it all together.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
    • Place pork tenderloin between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin until even. Set aside.

    • Roll the tenderloin around the filling, and tie with baker's twine to hold it together. I used 5 strings.
    • Brush the top of the pork loin with olive oil, arrange fresh herbs over the top and brush the herbs with oil.
    • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and continue baking for 25 to 35 minutes, until a thermometer reaches 165 degrees when stuck into the pork.

      Three of my faves - pork tenderloin, polenta and wine!! (oh and balsamic glaze too!!) Now we don't usually have ours come in two pieces like that but the concept is the same and we tie it off the same way so this works. Looks absolutely amazing - pinned!
