“Pork Involtini”

by Chef Tom Colicchio, brand partner of The Jersey Tomato Co.

Featuring new sauce flavor: Roasted Garlic

“I am thrilled to officially be on board with The Jersey Tomato Co. As a chef and proud Jersey Boy, JTC is the first sauce I’ve found with the careful balance of sweetness and acidity I strive for in my own home-cooked version. The recipes I’ve created using JTC are intended to showcase the product’s versatility and recreate the flavors of my Elizabeth, NJ childhood for any home cook who wants twice the flavor in half the time.” – Tom Colicchio

“Pork Involtini”

Recipe Time: 60 minutes

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:

8 slices pork loin, each about ¼ inch thick
¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
1 cup grated Pecorino cheese
1 cup fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, etc.)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 whole egg, plus 1 egg yolk
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
3 tbs. olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 jar The Jersey Tomato Co. Roasted Garlic Sauce

DIRECTIONS:

On a work surface, lightly pound the pork loin slices until they are ¼ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine ¾ cup Pecorino and ¾ cup herbs. Sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of the herb mixture over each pork slice and roll into a cylinder. Secure each pinwheel with toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the flour and ¼ Pecorino in a pie plate. In a bowl whisk together 1 egg and yolk.
Coat the involtini in the flour & Pecorino. Dip in egg wash and dredge in breadcrumbs until entirely coated. Repeat until they are all coated, tapping off any excess flour.
In a large skillet, heat the oil until simmering. Add the Involtini and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 3 to 5 minutes. It can be done in batches to not crowd the pan.
After browning, transfer to an enamel pot or Dutch oven and deglaze the pot with chicken broth.
Add the tomato sauce and simmer, uncovered until the involtini are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Transfer the involtini to a plate, sprinkle with remaining herbs and serve.
