Roast Pork Loin with McIntosh Sturdiwheat Stuffing

Recipe submitted by:  Mary Leverette from Columbia, South Carolina

½ cup breadcrumbs

½ cup Sturdiwheat Original Cereal

¼ cup onion, finely diced

1 egg

1 McIntosh apple, peeled and diced (or any tart apple)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2-pound pork loin

Sauce

¼ cup shallots, finely diced

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup red wine

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Sturdiwheat cereal, onion, egg, apple and salt and pepper. Open out pork loin or create a pocket and wrap around the filling. Tie in several places. Place on a small rack in a large seasoned skillet and roast for about 20-30 min. When the roast reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F., remove loin to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.  Prepare sauce by removing roasting rack and adding butter to the drippings in the skillet, sauté shallots, scraping up any brown bits for about 30 seconds. Add red wine and salt and pepper to taste.  Allow to reduce to ½ of volume. Slice pork loin and serve with sauce.  Serves 3-4.
