Pork Loin with Apricot and Couscous Stuffing
BY Weight Watchers | Dec 20, 2011

Serves 10

1 tsp olive oil

1 small brown onion, finely chopped

30g baby spinach leaves

¼ cup (50g) couscous

¼ cup (40g) chopped dried apricots

2 tbs pistachio kernels, toasted

1 tsp finely grated lemon rind

1.5kg rolled pork loin

2 tsp sea salt

1 Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add spinach and cook, covered, for 2 minutes or until wilted.

2 Place couscous in a large heatproof bowl. Add ¼ cup (60ml) boiling water. Stir, cover and set aside for 3 minutes. Scrape with a fork to separate grains, then stir in spinach mixture, apricots, toasted pistachios and lemon rind.

3 Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan-forced. Remove string from pork and unroll. Place on a board, skin side down, and slice crossways through the thickest part of the meat without cutting through the rind. Once sliced, open out to form one large piece.

4 Press stuffing in a wide panel on cut side of loin. Roll up to enclose stuffing, tying with string at 2cm intervals. Rub all over with salt, then place on a wire rack in a large baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until rind begins to crackle. Reduce temperature to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced and bake for another hour. Rest pork 
in a warm place for 10 
minutes before thinly 
slicing and serving.
