Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) dates, pitted, coarsely chopped
  • 250 ml (1 cup) orange juice
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter
  • 2 pork tenderloins, about 500 g (1 lb) each
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 160 ml (2/3 cup) green onion, finely chopped
  • 160 ml (2/3 cup) blue cheese, crumbled
  • Butcher string or toothpicks

Preparation

  1. In a saucepan, heat the dates and orange juice over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally (do not boil).
  2. Remove from the heat and let swell for about 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
  3. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  4. In a skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat.
  5. Season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper.

  8. Drain the dates.
  9. Place the dates, walnuts, green onion and blue cheese in a bowl.

  11. Cut the pork tenderloins open lengthwise without cutting all the way through (butterfly). Place each tenderloin between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  12. Flatten the tenderloins with a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin.
  13. Stuff the tenderloins with the date mixture. Close the tenderloins with the butcher string or toothpicks, and place them on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven for about 25 minutes for medium doneness.
