To cut a pork loin for stuffing, first, lay it flat on a cutting board. Then, make a lengthwise cut down the center of the pork, leaving about 1/2 inch of uncut meat at the bottom. Next, make perpendicular cuts on either side of the center cut, also leaving about 1/2 inch of uncut meat. This will create a pocket for the stuffing. Be sure not to cut all the way through the pork loin. The pork loin is now ready to be stuffed with your desired ingredients.
