PORK TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH BROCCOLI RABE

1½ lb. pork tenderloin (Preferably Smithfield Brand)
1 lb. fresh broccoli rabe
3 slices prosciutto
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 dry red hot pepper, crushed
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ tsp salt
½ cup of white wine

Prepare the broccoli rabe by discarding coarse leaves, trim the stems by ½ inch, rinse and set aside. Bring water to boil, cook broccoli rabe for 2 minutes and drain. In a frying pan, heat oil, garlic, salt and hot pepper, add broccoli rabe and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool and cut into 1 inch pieces.

Begin to butterfly the pork tenderloin evenly. Lat flat on clean surface and top with 3 slices of prosciutto, then add chopped broccoli rabe. Start to roll the tenderloin from the bottom. Tie with 14 inch butcher string making one knot.

Grill on covered barbecue for approximately 25-35 minutes on medium to high flame. Drizzle with white wine and cook for additional 2 minutes. Turn occasionally to cook evenly.
