Roulade, or roll in French, is an inventive way to serve a variety of tender meats, from chicken to veal. In this recipe I use pork loin with a variety of healthy vegetables, which is a stellar choice for a family on a budget. For $20 at Costco, you can get 10 pounds of pork loin and make it last months if you prep, portion, and freeze it right away. The total cost of this dish was about six or seven bucks. Not bad for four people!

Ingredients

1 hour

4 servings

12 oz pork loin
1/3 cup Blueberry Chipotle Barbeque Sauce (see my page for recipe)
1 head red cabbage
2 each jalapeño peppers, seeds removed
3 each carrots
4 oz goat cheese
1/2 cup golden flax seeds
pinch salt
pinch ground black pepper
pinch ground ginger
olive oil, extra virgin
worcestershire sauce

Cooking Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°.
2

Slice the pork loin into manageable portions–a size that you would want to eat, or between 3 and 6 oz. You'll know what's right.
3

Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, gently flatten the loins to about 1/3 their original thickness. Use as much force as you would when hitting a nail with a hammer, but if you were scared to hit your thumb. About 30% of the hardest you can do.
4

Slather the flattened loins with barbecue sauce.
5

Next, crumble goat, or any kind of cheese all over the barbecue sauce. I used fresh mozzarella for half and they were great too.
6

Sprinkle flax seeds and diced jalapeños atop the goat cheese.
7

Sprinkle on some grated carrots next, and then top with a red cabbage leaf, torn to an appropriate width. The veins of the leaves may need to be removed to get a tight roll.
8

Roll the loins rather tightly into a cylinder. If it's too loose, you may need a toothpick to secure the outer flap of the meat.
9

Lightly grease a deep dish pan with olive oil.
10

Place the roulades into the pan, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce, ginger, and anything else you might want. Don't forget that there are already jalapeños in the pork, so beware of spicy marinades.
11

Cover with tin foil and bake for 35 minutes. It'll be OK if they're not fully cooked. Pull them out anyways.
12

Remove from oven, and turn up to 425°. Remove foil, and slather a final coat of barbecue sauce on the outside of the pork.
13

Bake uncovered for 5-7 minutes more, until the barbecue sauce hardens slightly.
14

Remove the roulades gently from the dish, and either serve whole or slice them crosswise if desired. Enjoy!!!
