Stuffed pork tenderloin

I was thinking about how to use the pork tenderloin I had bought when I saw this .. and I thought to myself: So ein ding muss wir auch haben. Or at least something very similar. I made my stuffing from italian parsley, sundried tomatoes, garlic, an egg, salt, pepper, panko breadcrumbs and the few odd pieces of the meat that was cut away. Since I was all out of cooking string I used tooth picks to hold the rolled tenderloin together while cooking. Served with potato wedges.

While I was quite happy with the result, I can see my technical skills don't quite match those of Chef John - particularly in terms of getting the meat and stuffing so thin as to be able to really roll it.
