Assembly

Tear sheets of plastic wrap and place them on a large flat work surface to measure 20×20 inches, overlapping as you lay them out.

Spoon the cooled stuffing mixture onto the prosciutto, then use your hands to lightly press it into an even layer, leaving a 1-1/2-inch border on top and bottom and a 1-inch border on each side.
-
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season well with salt and pepper. Position the pork across the center of the stuffing, tucking in the thinner tail end to make an even log.1 pork tenderloin, kosher salt and black pepper
-
Lift the plastic to help wrap the prosciutto and stuffing around the pork, and continue to roll up like a sushi roll, tightening the roll as you go.
-
Tuck in the ends of the prosciutto, then finish wrapping the roll with the remaining plastic wrap, twisting the ends to compress the roast tightly. Press the roll on each end towards the center to further compress the roll. Wrap the roll in one last piece of plastic wrap, tucking the ends under to keep the roast snug and firm.
-
Chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. Longer is better as it helps the stuffing to firm up.
