Spanish Pork Tenderloin Roulade

  1. To butterfly the tenderloins: make a deep lengthwise cut down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Open the tenderloin up like a book.
  3. Place the opened tenderloin between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
  4. Pound with a meat mallet until 1/4-inch thick.
  5. Repeat with the other tenderloin.
  6. To make the stuffing: heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add the onion and cook until lightly golden, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  8. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  9. Add the kale, vinegar, honey, and water.
  10. Increase the heat to high and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the kale is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  11. Drain and set aside.
  12. Lay 2 slices of ham or prosciutto over each butterflied tenderloin.
  13. Top with half of the kale stuffing, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  14. Carefully open the peppers and lay a single layer over the kale.
  15. Roll up each tenderloin and tie at 2-inch intervals with butcher's twine.
  16. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  17. Sprinkle the tenderloins all over with salt and pepper.
  18. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  19. Place the tenderloins in the pan and brown on all sides for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  20. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast.
  21. After 15 minutes, begin checking the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer, checking every 5 minutes, until the pork registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F. When done, remove the tenderloins from skillet to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  22. Remove the twine from the tenderloins, cut them into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve with Romesco sauce.
  23. Romesco sauce:
  24. 1/2 cup toasted almonds
  25. 1/2 fresh bread crumbs
  26. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  27. 8 ounces piquillo peppers or fire roasted red bell peppers or pimentos
  28. 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  29. Kosher salt
  30. Fresh ground pepper
  31. For the Romesco sauce: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, grind the almonds until they form a thick paste.
  32. Add the bread crumbs, olive oil, peppers, and capers and process until smooth.
  33. Taste for salt and pepper.
  34. Transfer to a serving bowl.
