This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was a very exciting one for me. Pork loins are one of my favorite meats and I especially love them when they’re stuffed with all sorts of yummy things. This one is stuffed with sauteed swiss chard, onions, garlic, and raisins. Can you imagine anything better?
The pork was so much easier than I imagined and I had dinner on the table about an hour before I had anticipated! The only issue I had was my own fault – I pulled half of a very large pork loin out of the freezer instead of buying a smaller one and had some trouble getting it cut and rolled thanks to the shape of it. That obviously didn’t affect the taste but I was hoping for a prettier loin. I did leave off the peppercorn/coriander crust because I didn’t feel like making a huge mess crushing the seeds and I won’t make that mistake again. I bet it would’ve been extra delicious with the crust!
We really enjoyed this one and I was shocked that all of my boys ate the chard! The raisins were definitely amazing with the pork and I’ll be on the lookout for my pork recipes that include dried fruit.

Dried fruit + meat seems to be trademark Dorie – it always surprises me how well the two work together.
Glad you enjoyed!

We enjoyed this too. The stuffing was a great combination and I even ate
the raisins which I detest. I think when they are cooked, something happens to
changes the flavor. Hopefully, Tricia will do a catch-up on this recipe, cause
Hubby and I thought it was very tasty.
We enjoyed this recipe too. Our roast was double the size Dorie suggests, however it meant that we could have more for dinner…more fun. Everyone liked this roast which I agree was easy and actually cooked quicker than I anticipated…and we go for well done pork at our house…still a relatively quick meal…and it is pretty too. Nice job…I think your roast and stuffing look really great!
I love the fact that this recipe was so easy to put together. Yours looks scrumptious!
Your pork loin looks great! It was such a quick meal to fix during the week, but elegant enought for company. Glad your boys liked it too!
I’m glad you’re up and running again! The chard stuffed roast looks so pretty, love your photo. Nice when the recipes we make for dinner are enjoyed.
We also enjoyed this recipe. I only had ground coriander so I made a rub using that ground pepper, salt and garlic powder that was quite good!
