Ingredients

Pork Loin

2-3 lbs pork loin

Stuffing

1 ripe pear, cored and diced about 5 oz or 140g
3 oz blue cheese, crumbled 85g
½ cup walnuts, chopped 60g
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 6g
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil 30ml
Salt and pepper, to taste
Kitchen twine for tying

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the pork loin by making a deep cut down the middle lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
In a bowl, mix the diced pear, crumbled blue cheese, chopped walnuts, fresh thyme, and minced garlic.
Stuff the mixture into the pork loin pocket and secure the opening with kitchen twine.
Rub the outside of the pork loin with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the stuffed pork loin on a rack in a roasting pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cut the twine, slice the pork loin into thick servings, and enjoy.

Notes

Let the pork loin reach room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.

Always rest the meat before slicing to keep the juices intact.

The internal temperature of the pork will continue to rise slightly after removing it from the oven.

For an even heartier keto meal, serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a green salad.
