    This was a great recipe. It turned out really nice. The pork actually stayed tender which is hard to accomplish. I used goat's cheese instead of provolone and it added a lot of flavour. I think it would work great stuffed in a chicken breast too. Yummy! Definitely a family favourite. - 11/23/09

    Newer guidance for cooking pork says cooking it to 160 is too long and dries it out. This was the case here for sure. The recipe was pretty good and flavorful except for it being over cooked at that temperature. - 9/26/17

    One of my favorite recipes... I used feta cheese, lemon and a little coconut oil on top to cook in oven. Always turns out perfect.. - 11/27/16

    I used half a cup of bread stuffing instead of cheese. Took an extra 5 minutes to cook (total 30 minutes), but well worth the wait! - 11/17/16

    The taste was really good but I didn't appreciate that they said the prep and cooking time was so short. If I had a sSioux chef to cut the onions and garlic and do all the side work maybe the prep would only take 10 minutes but it was really 30 minutes. And the cooking time was more like 40 min. - 4/8/15

    Didn't have any cheese, so I added some chopped mushrooms to the spinach sautee and put a thin line of whole cranberry sauce in the middle before rolling. Easier than I thought it would be, I never tried butterflying and pounding. Will definitely make again! - 6/29/14

    This was really delicious and a nice combination of flavours. Pork was really tender and tasty. I used mature white cheddar and parmesan instead of provolone and it really gave a nice flavour. - 4/23/13

    I absolutely LOVEd this recipe. I didn't make the mustard glaze because I don't like dijon, but it was still excellent with just salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Thank you SO much for sharing! - 2/19/11

    Good meat! We used some swiss chard in it- I wouldn't recommend it- too bitter. But the meat was yummy. Thanks! - 3/23/10
