Ingredients
For Stuffing

- 1 Teaspoon Ground Sage
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Stalk Celery Finely chopped
- 1 Med-sized Onion Finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic I used jarred minced garlic.
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Seasoning Mix
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
Pork Loin
- 3-4 Pound Pork Loin
- Butcher Twine

- 3 Stalks Celery Cleaned
Instructions
For Stuffing
-
Begin by adding the stuffing mix, ground sage in a large bowl. Mix the stuffing mix and sage together. Pour the chicken broth over the stuffing mix and let sit for a few minutes so the stuffing can absorb the broth.
-
In a sauté pan add the olive oil, turn the burner to medium-low. Once the olive oil has heated up add the finely chopped celery. Sauté the celery for a while before you add the finely chopped onion. Once the onion has had time to sauté add the minced garlic. Continue to sauté vegetables until the onion is translucent and the celery has a soft look to it. Set aside to let cool.
-
In the large bowl with the stuffing mix and broth add the eggs. Using your hand or a large spoon to mix all together. With the vegetables cooled add them and mix well. The stuffing mix will be wet now but will be firm when cooked in the pork loin.
Seasoning Mix
-
In a small bowl mix all the seasoning together. Set aside until the pork loin has been butterflied.

Season the pork loin with the rest of the seasoning mixture.
