Gordon Ramsay's stuffed pork tenderloin
Ingredients
One kilogram pork loin roasting joint, skin scored
175g Manchego cheese, finely sliced
150g membrillo
Two sage sprigs
Olive oil, for drizzling
One head of garlic, cut in half horizontally
One thyme sprig
200ml medium-dry sherry
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C (gas mark seven). Lay the joint skin-side down on a chopping board and make a deep cut along its length, stopping three-quarters of the way through the meat.
Gently open the joint out into a long rectangular shape, then season with salt and pepper. Place slices of cheese and membrillo along the centre, sprinkle over the leaves from one sprig of sage, and roll the meat up to enclose the filling.
Tie the rolled meat at 3cm intervals using kitchen string. In a roasting tray suitable for the hob, combine the thyme, remaining sage, and garlic, then place the pork on top, skin-side up.
Drizzle with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and golden.
Lower the oven temperature to 180C (gas mark four) and continue roasting for another 50 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked. Once done, remove the pork from the tray and allow it to rest on a serving platter.
Place the roasting tray on the hob, pour in the sherry, and bring to the boil, stirring to loosen any caramelised bits. Reduce the heat, crush the garlic, discard the herbs, and stir in any juices from the rested meat.
To serve, slice the pork thickly, strain the sauce, and pour it generously over the meat.
