Stuffed Pork With Walnut Crust

A main course inspired by balmy Langudoc nights, punctuated only by the sound of crickets and the clack of petonque balls. Delicious served hot with a simple salad and also cold for a lunchtime picnic - I even think its worth roasting two at a time so there are leftovers for that picnic!

Stuffed Pork With Walnut Crust

Stuffed Pork With Walnut Crust Directions

  1. 1. Gently soften the onion and garlic in olive oil, using a non-stick frying pan. Add the olives, tomatoes and rosemary. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Cool. Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees C

  2. 2. On a chopping board, remove all the string from the pork joint and unroll, top side down. Spoon the onion filling in a line down the middle, re-roll tightly and tie. Don't worry if some of the filling oozes out, just pack it back in agan after tying.
  3. 3. Place the pork in a roasting tin, right side up and remove the visible fat. With your fingers, gently pat the ground walnuts in place, with a final press to ensure they stay in place.

  4. 4. Sprinkle with olive oil and roast in the pre-heated oven for about 1 - 1 1/4 hours or until the juices run clear.
  5. 5. Remove from the oven, cover with a cloth and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

  6. Rolling and Stringing the pork: Detailed insructions can be found in the recipe for Herbed Stuffed Pork
