Ingredients

¾ cup	Walnuts
2	Garlic cloves
⅓ cup	BBQ tomato sauce
1	Spring onion
1¼ kg	Pork loins
1 handful	Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 to drizzle	Olive oil

Directions

Heat oven to 190 degC. To make the stuffing, place the walnuts and crushed garlic in a mini food processor, pulse to chop, then combine with the tomato sauce and finely chopped spring onion.
Place pork loin skin-side down on a chopping board and season all over with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing down the centre of the pork loin. Roll up and secure with string.
Transfer the pork to an oven pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil, then rub salt into the skin to help the crackling form.
Roast for one hour and 15 minutes or until when pierced the meat juices run clear. Cover and rest the pork for 10 minutes before carving.

TIP
As a guide when roasting pork, allow 30 minutes per 500g. Cooked in this way the pork is full of flavour. Pork is one of the most inexpensive meats and will feed a crowd when served with lots of vegetable sides or salads.
