- 1 pork tenderloin
- 1 lb. fresh kale, washed, dried and chopped
- 1 md. onion, julienned
- 1/4 cup pancetta, diced
- 1/2 cup butter kase
- havarti cheese, diced
- 4 to 6 thin slices prosciutto
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
- 1 whole bulb garlic
- 2 md. shallots
- 1/4 cup olive oil for roasting
- 3 tbsp. chopped chervil
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- In a large ramekin or gratin dish place whole garlic bulb and whole shallots and drizzle liberally with olive oil.
- Cover with foil and roast for approximately one hour or until garlic and shallots are soft and carmalized.
- Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 500F.
- When garlic and shallots have cooled to the touch, cut through the top of the garlic bulb, exposing the cloves inside.
- Squeeze out the roasted garlic and puree with the shallots and the whole grain mustard.
- Slowly drizzle the roasting oil into the puree to emulsify.
- Add sugar and water to a sauce pot and cook over medium-heat without stirring until it develops into a golden caramel.
- Add vinegar and stir.
- Add puree to the gastrique and emulsify with an immersion blender (alternatively you can carefully emulsify in the blender).
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add chervil just before serving.
- Set a large saute pan over medium-low heat.
- Add diced pancetta, tossing frequently until crisp and rendered.
- Drain on towel reserving rendered fat in saute pan.
- Add onion and saute until slightly softened (add more oil if needed).
- Add kale and a splash of water then cover.
- When kale has steamed, keep sauteing until it is tender and the water has evaporated.
- Add pepper and a small amount of salt to taste.
- Set aside.
- Your butcher can butterfly the tenderloin if you prefer.
- Otherwise butterfly and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
- Add sauteed kale, rendered pancetta and cheese to center of the tenderloin.
- Roll tightly.
- Season outside of tenderloin (keep in mind the pancetta and prosciutto are both salty).
- Neatly wrap prosciutto around outside of roullade.
- Tightly tress the roulade with butcher twine, forming it as symmetrically as possible.
- Place in a lightly oiled pan and roast until prosciutto is crisp and cheese is melted.
- Allow to rest for 5-7 minutes and then cut off butcher twine.
- Slice crosswise into 1/2-3/4 inch medallions.
