Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Ground peanuts — Make sure to use unsalted ground peanuts for the stuffing. If you have whole peanuts, you can grind them in a food processor until they reach a fine consistency.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the stuffing mixture.
  • Serve the Centrafrican-style Stuffed Pork Rolls with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the flavors.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the pork rolls before serving.
  • If you don't have ground coriander, you can use ground cumin as a substitute.
  • To ensure even cooking, choose pork loin slices that are of similar thickness.
