Preparation
In a bowl, mix Feta cheese with onion, garlic, raisins (or other dried fruit), fresh parsley and ground pepper to taste.
Trim 2 inch (5 cm) off the skinny end of each tenderloin and make a slit, lengthwise, so you can split them open. Stuff tenderloins with Feta mixture, keeping it in the centre, and then close to trap in the stuffing. Tie with string.
In a skillet, melt butter over high heat and brown the stuffed meat on all sides. Deglaze with wine and broth. Cover and cook 10 minutes over medium heat.
Remove pork from skillet; untie string and let stand, covered with a foil sheet.
Strain cooking juices, bring to a boil, add cream, and simmer 4-5 minutes.
Serve the pork tenderloins sliced, along with the arugula, sauce and Havarti & coriander carrot purée.
