Instructions Checklist
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and the 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add bread crumbs, Romano cheese, and chicken broth. Gently stir in roasted vegetables.

Instructions Checklist
  • To butterfly each pork tenderloin, trim any fat from meat. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut down the center of the pork roast, cutting almost to, but not through, the other side of the meat. Spread the meat flat.

Instructions Checklist
  • Place each piece of tenderloin between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound meat lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to make a 10x8-inch rectangle. Remove; discard plastic wrap.

Instructions Checklist
  • Spoon half of the stuffing over one of the tenderloins to within 1 inch of the sides. Roll tenderloin up into a spiral, beginning with a short side. Tie meat with clean string. Place seam side down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Repeat with other tenderloin and remaining stuffing. Brush with the 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter.

Instructions Checklist
  • Roast, uncovered, in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until meat is tender and juices run clear (160 degree F).

Instructions Checklist
  • Prepare Cracked Mustard Sauce. Slice the tenderloins and spoon sauce over meat. Garnish with fresh herbs, if you like. Makes 8 servings.
