Garlic Pretzel Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

For a play on a pork braciole, try this simple and flavorful pairing. Plus, it features two gourmet products that are each made with wholesome ingredients and lots of love - OMG! Pretzels and Jule's Tomato Sauce. The herbs and spices in each of these bonus ingredients really add amazing savoriness to the dish while keeping it light. We love to serve this Italian-style classic with a side of roasted potatoes and green beans.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Equipment: kitchen twine, saute pan

Ingredients:

• ½ cup OMG! Garlic Pretzels, finely crushed
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 ½-pound pork tenderloin, butterflied and lightly pounded
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup dry white wine
• One jar (16 oz.) Jule's Classic Spicy Tomato Sauce

Steps

1. Crush the OMG! Garlic Pretzels in a food processor or plastic bag until finely crushed.
2. In a small bowl, combine the pretzel crumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and 2 tbsp of the olive oil.
3. Lay the mixture in the center of the pork tenderloin, roll it up, and tie with kitchen twine to close. We recommend tying it in 3 or 4 places to keep the pork rolled up while it cooks.
4. Once the pork is stuffed and tied, season the outside with salt and pepper.
5. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and brown the outside of the pork, about 3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the pork from the pan, and deglaze with the white wine, about 2 minutes.
7. Add the Jule's Classic Spicy Tomato Sauce to the pan and return the pork.
8. Simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
9. Let the pork rest uncovered in the pan with the sauce for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving with the sauce drizzled on top.
