"I am not sure, but I believe this recipe comes from one of those recipe cards found in some magazines, or perhaps it is another from the Government of Alberta. Doesn't really matter because it is GOOD! I find that if you get all your veggies, bread, etc. prepared in advance, this comes together very easily. Please, enjoy!"

ingredients

2 pork tenderloin (3/4 lb. each)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
¹⁄₄ cup celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sweet pepper, finely chopped (any colour)
2 cups soft breadcrumbs
¹⁄₂ cup apple, finely chopped
2 tablespoons raisins
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
¹⁄₄ teaspoon poultry seasoning
¹⁄₈ teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch nutmeg
4 slices bacon

directions

Preheat oven to 325°F - have a roasting pan, with rack, ready.
Split tenderloins lengthwise, but do not cut completely through the meat (this is easily accomplished if the tenderloins are very cold).
Spread the tenderloins open and pound them gently to make them a bit thinner.
Melt butter in a heavy skillet.
Add celery, onion, sweet peppers and cook gently for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add breadcrumbs and continue cooking and stirring until the crumbs are lightly browned.
Remove from heat and add apple, raisins and spices.
Cover one of the tenderloins with the stuffing.
Lay the other tenderloin on top and wrap the strips of bacon around them, either securing with toothpicks or tying.
Put on rack in roasting pan in preheated oven for about 1-1/2 hours or until meat is very tender and cooked through. Do not overcook.
Nice served with baked or roasted potatoes and a baby spinach salad.

I live in Canada's capital (Ottawa, Ontario) and love it, although years ago I lived on the West Coast (Vancouver, B.C.) and loved it, too. I am retired and really enjoy cooking, so reading recipes is almost a passion. Every time I bring out a new recipe I hear "Oh, not again!" from my hubby, but I notice he enjoys almost everything I try. We have a rating system for new recipes, and he always lets me know his opinion. Pet peeves include people who are afraid to try new foods and people who are habitually late. Favorite cook books are 5-Roses and the three new ones by our Canadian Podleski sisters - Crazy Plates, Looney Spoons and their latest, Eat, Shrink and be Merry. They are delightful and really informative. I am really glad that I found Recipezaar!! I spend a lot of time reading about other members, browsing their recipes and reading their comments about the recipes they have tried. A lot of good ideas have come my way, and I am sure there will be more. Thanks to all of you out there who have made my days much more pleasurable.
