Prepare the pork loin by flattening it out.

Spread the filling evenly over the pork loin.

Roll the pork loin tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks.

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat and brown the rolls on all sides.

Add water or broth to the pot to cover the rolls halfway and bring to a simmer.

Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking gently for 1.5 to 2 hours until the pork is tender.
