Bieszczady-style pork loin

Bieszczady-style pork loin is a dish inspired by the simplicity and aromas of mountain cuisine. Tender pork loin, stuffed with prunes and seasoned with rosemary and wild garlic, develops a deep, pronounced flavor. Preparing it in a ham cooker keeps the meat exceptionally juicy and fresh for several days. Perfect as homemade cold cuts for sandwiches or as a main course.
