Ingredients

3 pound Pork shoulder roast, deboned
1/2 pound Italian sausage, removed
1 bunch fresh spinach
2 large eggs, hard-boiled and sliced
1/2 pound Ricotta cheese
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp Olive oil
to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350ÃÂ°F (175ÃÂ°C).
2
Lay the pork roast flat, fat side down. If necessary, cut a pocket into the center to create space for the stuffing, keeping the meat intact enough to roll.
3
If you removed meat to create the pocket, dice it and mix it with the Italian sausage meat.
4
Wash and chop the fresh spinach. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and quickly fry the spinach until wilted. Drain excess liquid.
5
In a bowl, combine the sausage meat mixture (or plain sausage if no meat was removed), fried spinach, sliced hard-boiled eggs, ricotta cheese, and chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Season the inside of the pork roast pocket with salt and pepper.
7
Place the stuffing mixture in the center of the roast.
8
Roll up the roast tightly like a jelly roll. Use kitchen twine to tie the roast securely at 1-inch intervals to hold the shape.
9
Place the tied roast on a baking rack set inside a roasting pan.
10
Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ÃÂ°F (63ÃÂ°C) and the outside is golden brown.
11
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Note

If using frozen spinach, ensure it is completely defrosted, drained, and squeezed dry before frying to prevent a soggy filling.

For easier rolling, you can partially freeze the pork roast for 20-30 minutes before stuffing; this makes it firmer and easier to handle.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

You can add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the roasting pan during cooking to keep the pork moist and create a pan sauce.
