Method
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Cut three 10-in. (25-cm) pieces kitchen twine. Set aside. Cut pork along its length, being careful not to cut through the meat so tenderloin opens up like a book. Season both sides of pork with half the salt and pepper. Lay twine on work surface, evenly spaced under the pork (cut-side up).
- Step 2
- In large bowl, combine brown sugar, cumin and remaining salt and pepper. Add cauliflower and carrots. Mix to coat vegetables. Set aside.
- Step 3
- In a medium bowl, combine rice or quinoa, raisins, shallot, thyme and mustard. Mound rice mixture in a "strip" along centre of pork, using your hands to pack mixture together. Bring up ends of twine on both sides of the pork and knot securely, enclosing the filling.
- Step 4
- Add half the oil to an ovenproof skillet or roasting pan and set over high heat on stove. Place pork in centre of skillet or pan, tied-side up. Surround pork with cauliflower mixture and drizzle with remaining oil. Add broth to skillet. Turn stove heat off. Cover skillet tightly with foil.
- Step 5
- Roast pork in preheated oven 20 min. Remove foil and continue to roast until juices run clear or a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin reads 145ºF (63ºC), about 5 min. Rest tenderloin 5 min. before slicing to serve.
