Ingredients
  

2 pounds pork loin, trimmed

1 cup fresh breadcrumbs

cup dried cranberries, chopped

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

teaspoon black pepper

cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kitchen twine for tying

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauting until translucent (about 5 minutes).

      Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauted onions and garlic with the breadcrumbs, chopped cranberries, parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and moist.

        Butterfly the Pork Loin: Place the pork loin on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the pork loin lengthwise from the thicker side, stopping about 1 inch from the other side to create a flap. Open it like a book for stuffing.

          Stuff the Pork: Spread the cranberry herb filling evenly over the butterflied pork loin. Carefully fold the pork back over the filling.

            Tie and Secure: Using kitchen twine, tie the pork loin every 1-2 inches to secure the filling inside, ensuring that the stuffing doesnt leak out during cooking.

              Sear the Pork: In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed pork loin and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).

                Roast in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F (63C).

                  Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

                    Serve: Carefully slice the pork loin into medallions, showcasing the beautiful filling. Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
