It's the season where we all get stuffed, and why should a pork tenderloin be any different?

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Cook Potatoes

    Peel, trim, and cut carrots into 1/2" diagonal slices. Coarsely chop spinach. Peel and cut potatoes into 1" dice. Bring a medium pot with potatoes covered with lightly salted water to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until fork tender, 15-18 minutes. Drain in a colander and return to pot. Add half the milk, half the butter, and liquid egg and mash until smooth. Add remaining milk 1 Tbsp. at a time to achieve desired consistency. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add spinach and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Cook, stirring often, until spinach is just wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove to a small mixing bowl and cool 5 minutes. Wipe pan clean and reserve. After spinach has cooled slightly, mix in dried cherries and goat cheese crumbles (breaking up with your hands if needed). Cut twine into five equal lengths.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Tenderloin

    Rinse tenderloin and pat dry. Lay tenderloin on a separate cutting board. Hold knife blade parallel to the board and make a lengthwise cut through the center. Stop 1/4" short of opposite edge of tenderloin so pork remains in one piece. Open meat as you would a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound out to a uniform 1/2" thickness. Place filling down center and roll up tenderloin. Tie pork tenderloin closed with twine. Season pork on all sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

  4. 4

    Bake Potatoes and Cook Tenderloin

    Transfer potatoes to a small casserole dish. Use a fork to pull potatoes into small peaks, forming ridges with tines of fork. Brush lightly with olive oil and bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. While potatoes bake, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in pan used for filling. Add pork to hot pan and cook until browned on all sides, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 10-12 minutes. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  5. 5

    Cook the Carrots

    Return pan used to sear tenderloin to medium heat. Add remaining butter, honey, thyme sprigs, carrots, and 2 Tbsp. water to hot pan. Bring to a simmer and cover pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, 8-10 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice pork into 1/2 thick slices and serve alongside duchess potatoes and carrots.
