Pork A La Delightful M

1 boneless pork loin
4 oz thinkly sliced prosciutto
3 c washed, stemmed spinach
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c grated pecorino romano cheese
salt and pepper

1 c chicken stock
1 clove garlic, minced

Wash and coarsely chop spinach. Sweat garlic in olive oil over medium heat, add spinach until wilted and excess water evaporated. Salt and pepper to taste. When cool, mix with cheese.

Carefully slice pork loin so that it unfolds into thirds: From natural flap in meat, cut a section about 3/4 inch thick along one side. Do not cut all the way through. Lay flat and cut again the other direction: Pork should roll up as a spiral. Flatten meat, season with pepper. Cover Inside of pork with one layer of prosciutto, then spread with spinach/cheese mixture. Roll pork up and tie at regular intervals with kitchen string. Salt and pepper the outside.

Over high heat in oven-proof pan, brown pork loin in oil until brown on all sides. Transfer to 350 oven, roast for 50 minutes. Transfer to platter, let cool. Pour off excess fat from pan. Deglaze pan with chicken stock, add 1 clove minced garlic and chopped leftover prosciutto. Reduce liquid by half, add 1 TB butter. Slice pork, pour pan sauce over.

Serves as a decent hostess gift.
