With tender grilled pork bursting with flavors of the Old Country, this recipe for Caprese-Stuffed Pork Loin is an absolute must-try next time you light the coals. The Caprese salad has been a traditional Italian salad meant to resemble the Italian Flag with the red of the tomato, the green of the basil and the white of the fresh Mozzarella. Often served as an antipasto, this salad is the perfect combination of flavors to lend a hand to new recipes and inspire the fusion of flavors with unique twists to the classics. My recipe for Caprese-Stuffed Pork Loin relies upon the smoky flavors of the grill to elevate the creaminess of the fresh salad, while wrapping it into a juicy pork loin.
