First, you need to season the pork loin with Knorr Liquid Seasoning and pepper. Next, lay the pork loin on a chopping board and spread half of the pesto sauce evenly on one side and then sprinkle the top with chopped almonds.
You now have to gently roll the loin into a log, then seal and secure it with butcher’s twine by tying knots on both ends.
Give the loin a nice breading layer by first coating it in flour. After, dip it in beaten eggs and finally roll it in a mixture of half pesto and breadcrumbs.
Cook the pork roll by deep frying it in oil set at low-medium heat or bake in a 375 F oven for 30-45 minutes. Wait for it to cook and then you are done!
