Stuffed Pork with Cottage Cheese and Watermelon

Preparation Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.Butterfly the pork loin by making a lengthwise cut down the center, cutting almost but not all the way through. Open up the pork loin like a book and flatten it with a meat mallet until it is about 1/2 inch thick.

Cottage Cheese Filling In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, dill, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

4.Spread the cottage cheese filling evenly over the flattened pork loin.

5.Roll up the pork loin tightly, starting from one end. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.

Searing the Pork Loin In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat some vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed pork loin on all sides until browned.

Baking the Pork Loin Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Watermelon Sauce While the pork is baking, prepare the watermelon sauce. In a blender, combine the diced watermelon, ketchup, honey, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

Serving Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced stuffed pork with the watermelon sauce on the side.
