Directions
1.
Place the chopped parsnip, sweet potato, and carrot in an 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and the dash black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss all to coat. Roast, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 35 minutes or till tender and golden. Remove from oven; set aside.
2.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and the 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add bread crumbs, Romano cheese, and chicken broth. Gently stir in roasted vegetables.
3.
To butterfly each pork tenderloin, trim any fat from meat. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut down the center of the pork roast, cutting almost to, but not through, the other side of the meat. Spread the meat flat.
4.
Place each piece of tenderloin between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound meat lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to make a 10x8-inch rectangle. Remove; discard plastic wrap.
5.
Spoon half of the stuffing over one of the tenderloins to within 1 inch of the sides. Roll tenderloin up into a spiral, beginning with a short side. Tie meat with clean string. Place seam side down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Repeat with other tenderloin and remaining stuffing. Brush with the 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter.
6.
Roast, uncovered, in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until meat is tender and juices run clear (160 degree F).
7.
Prepare Cracked Mustard Sauce. Slice the tenderloins and spoon sauce over meat. Garnish with fresh herbs, if you like. Makes 8 servings.

Cracked Mustard Sauce
In a small saucepan, cook 1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter until garlic is tender, but not brown. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon coarse-grain mustard or Dijon-style mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed. Season with salt and black pepper. Add 1 cup vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth and 1/4 cup half-and-half or light cream. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.

Pork Tenderloin aRosa di Parmau

This is a traditional roast from the Italian province of Parma, often served for special family celebrations. "Rosa di Parma" means it's stuffed with Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto.) Typically made with beef, it is equally delicious and more economical made with pork tenderloin and ideal for entertaining parties of 8 to 10. Seek out true Italian Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano-Reggiano for this dish--even though they are more costly, the superior flavor is worth the expense.
