Description: The first time I walked into a Walmart store here in Orlando, I was just amazed at the size of the store! Never before had I seen any store this size in Oman or Dubai or India. I was just speechless as I walked through the whole store. I have a habit of picking up a momento of a place I go to for the first time and which I like. I picked up this recipe from the store:-) Those were the days when I missed Zaar like a fish without water!!! Hope you enjoy this!

Saute Onions: In a saucepan, sauté onions in hot melted margarine or butter until they are tender.
-
Mix Ingredients: Stir in dried apricots, herb seasoned stuffing mix, 1/2 cup water, and chopped pecans until well combined.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare Tenderloins: Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloins. Make a lengthwise cut down the center of each tenderloin, cutting to within 1/2 inch of the opposite side. Spread open the tenderloins and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/2 inch thickness.
-
Stuff Tenderloins: Spoon half of the fruit and nut mixture over each tenderloin. Starting from a long side, roll up the tenderloins to cover the stuffing. Tuck in the ends and tie at 1-inch intervals with cotton kitchen twine.
-
Roasting: Place the stuffed tenderloins on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Rub with thyme and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes or until the meat and stuffing reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
-
Serve: Remove the twine, slice the tenderloins, and serve hot.
