Ingredients
 

  • 3/4 cup raw cashew pieces
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1 piece peeled ginger root 1" by 1 1/2", cut into pieces
  • 8 large cloves garlic
  • 2 green chilies cut into pieces
  • 1 Tbsp. coriander powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 boneless pork center-cut single loin roast about 2 lbs./1kg.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450F. In a food processor, combine cashews, raisins, ginger, garlic, chile, coriander, cumin, and salt.
  • Process until mixture is a coarse paste that holds together. Pour in oil and process for 30 seconds.
  • Set aside one-third of the mixture.
  • With the short end of the pork loin facing you, work a sharp knife through the center of the pork to make a tunnel. You might have to work from both ends.
  • Open up the tunnel with your fingers. Stuff with remaining two-thirds of the cashew mixture, packing it in and stopping 1/4" from both ends.
  • Cover top and sides with remaining cashew mixture, patting it on firmly.
  • Alternatively, slice pork loin horizontally almost, but not all the way through. Open into 2 flaps, like a book.
  • Pound with a meat mallet to even thickness. Pat stuffing on one flap, leaving 1/4" border. Cover with the other flap.
  • Tie the stuffed pork loin with kitchen string and firmly pat reserved cashew mixture all over top and sides, (This is the method I used for the pork tenderloins).
  • Roast in preheated oven for 15 min. Reduce temperature to 350F and for 30 min. longer or until the meat thermometer registers 160F.
  • Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 min. before slicing into 1/2" thick slices.
