Prosciutto Wrapped Stuff Pork with Brussel Sprouts

This Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Roast with Brussel Sprouts recipe is a complete meal in one big casserole dish. It’s rustic home cooking, which is perfect for Sunday supper with the family but impressive enough for your holiday table with guests.

This is a great holiday dinner recipe but my family always ends up eating Chinese for food for Christmas dinner. We actually eat Chinese food for most extended family gatherings so I don’t get to make as many traditional holiday foods. However, I’ve been making this recipe for Sunday dinners. We usually take more time to relax at home on Sundays and it’s nice to have a hearty, warm meal that’s kinda special. And around the holidays, I'd serve this Gluten and Nut Free Christmas Pudding for dessert.

This recipe takes extra time and care to prepare. The stuffing and wrapping of the pork roast can be daunting but with a little bit of instruction, it can be done. Also, you get the hang of it after you’ve done it a few times.

First thing you need to do is to cut the pork roast. Before you begin, make sure you have a very sharp knife. Then slice into the pork the long way. Keep making long cuts and slowly peel back the pork like you are unrolling it.

Next place it on a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the meat until it’s all one thickness and about 3/4 inch thick.

I’ve tried other, cleaner products to use instead of plastic wrap. None of them have worked quite as well. I’ve never had an issue where the plastic wrapped broke and there were bits of plastic in my food but I also used a mallet with a flat front. If you absolutely insist on using something that’s not a piece of plastic on your food then I totally understand. My suggestion would be to use a clean dishtowel. Just be sure to transfer it immediately to the washer (or trash).

To roll up the pork, lay out prosciutto in a single layer (it’s ok of the edges slightly overlap) on a large piece of parchment paper. Make sure that it’s slightly larger than the pork.

Sprinkle the chopped sage on top of the prosciutto, season the pork with salt and then place the pork on top. Next spoon the stuffing on top of the pork.

Lift one side of the parchment paper and then begin rolling the pork. Once it’s rolled, tuck the prosciutto into the ends and you’re ready to tie it up.

To secure the pork with cooking twine, scoot the twine under the pork, wrap it around the long way (vertical) and then tie it up at one end. The next part is slightly tricky.

Take the twine and scoot it under the pork the short way (horizontal) and wrap it around and under the vertical line and then tie it in a knot. Scoot the twine under the pork horizontally again but stop about 2 inches above the previous horizontal line, wrap the twine around the pork and then take the end under the vertical line and tie. Repeat until you run out of pork.

Trim the ends of the twine so there’s no excess and then tuck a sprig of rosemary into the twine. It infuses the outside of the pork with a little bit of rosemary and looks oh-so-pretty!

My tip to making this easy is to keep the prosciutto as cold as possible before and during this process. Once prosciutto gets warm, the fat with start to melt, which can make this process a bit harder.

The rest of the recipe is pretty self-explanatory and you can check out those instructions in the recipe below.
