Here is a very easy recipe using D’allesandro Cajun Dirty Rice Blend. You can also add more filling before you roll the loin, just make sure it is tightly tied with twine.
Cajun Dirty Rice-Stuffed Pork Loin
2-1/2 to 3-pound pork loin
1 cup cooked Cajun Dirty Rice
1 cup cooked andouille sausage, crumbled
1 cup thinly sliced collard greens, picked
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Butcher’s twine
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prep pork loin by slicing across it lengthwise, stopping 3/4 inch from the other side. Open halves, laying pork flat. Starting from the center, slice each half lengthwise, again stopping 3/4 inch from the other side. Again, open so pork is flat. You will have made one large, flat piece of pork 3/4 inch thick. Make sure to keep it in one piece.
Evenly cover flattened pork loin with prepared Cajun Dirty Rice, andouille sausage and collard greens, then tightly roll it jellyroll-style so that the loin returns to its original shape.
Tie with butcher’s twine to keep the filling inside and to cook evenly.
Rub outside of meat with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Place on a baking sheet and bake until internal temperature reaches 155°F, about 1 hour.
Increase heat to 500°F and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until exterior is crispy and browned.
Slice and serve.
Makes 8 to 12 servings

I grew up in New Orleans so I love me some Cajun seasoning but I hardly ever stuff my pork loin. This seems right up my alley. I usually cook it in a cast iron pot with sweet potatoes onion and garlic. Can’t wait to mix it up!
I love stuffed pork tenderloin! So good!!
Agreed!
