  • Total 6 hr 30 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2- to 2 1/2-pound pork boneless loin roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby portabella mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 package (9 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs (1 slice bread)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    To cut pork roast so that it can be filled and rolled, cut horizontally down length of pork about 1/2 inch from top of pork to within 3/4 inch of opposite side; open flat. Turn pork so you can cut other side. Repeat with other side of pork, cutting from the inside edge to the outer edge; open flat. If pork is thicker than 3/4 inch, cover pork with plastic wrap and pound until about 3/4-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap.
  • 2
    Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and mushrooms in oil, stirring frequently, until liquid has evaporated. Stir in spinach, bread crumbs and cheese.
  • 3
    Spread mushroom mixture on inside surfaces of pork. Roll up pork; tie with kitchen twine. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in oil until brown on all sides. Place pork in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt.
  • 4
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 7 hours or until pork is tender.

  • If you don't have time to let the spinach thaw in the refrigerator, try running the package under cold water for a few minutes. Or thaw it in the microwave.
  • Tired of the same old boiled or baked potatoes? For a change, try serving German spaetzle instead. Look for spaetzle in the frozen foods section of your supermarket.
