Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pesto sauce
  • 2 pork tenderloins trimmed and butterflied and pounded to even thickness
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • salt and pepper
  • sliced mozzarella cheese as needed
  • 1 package prosciutto
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • kitchen twine for tying

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 425 and line a sheet pan with foil. Butterfly the pork (there are great youtube vids on how to do this) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pound them to an even thickness about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Spread the pesto, lemon juice and mustard on the pork and then layer on the sun dried tomatoes, spinach, cheese and prosciutto. With the long side facing you, place a piece of twine under the end of the pork and start rolling up into a roll like the picture. Tie in a few places to keep roll together.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron pan or skillet until smoking. Add the tenderloins and sear them well on all sides. Place onto the baking sheet and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake about 20-30 minutes, until the center reads 155-160. Let rest for 10 minutes, remove the strings and slice. We ate these with extra dijon the side.
