Let's Make It
1
Heat oven to 450°F.
2
Chop 1 rosemary sprig finely. Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add celery; cook and stir 4 min. or until crisp-tender. Remove from heat. Add chopped rosemary, water, cherries and nuts; mix well. Stir in stuffing mix just until moistened.
3
Place roast on cutting board with short ends at 12 and 6 o’clock. Holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface, make 1/2-inch-deep lengthwise cut through underside of roast, pulling back meat with your free hand and unrolling it as you continue to cut through roast. (You should end up with a piece of meat that is about 1/2-inch thick and 3 times the size of the original roast.) Cover meat with plastic wrap; pound to even thickness.
4
Brush cut side of meat with 1/4 cup dressing; top with spinach and stuffing mixture, leaving 1-inch border around all sides. Roll up tightly, starting at one long side. Tie closed with kitchen string. Tuck remaining rosemary sprigs under string. Place in shallow pan; brush with remaining dressing.
5
Bake 20 min. Reduce oven temperature to 375ºF; continue baking 15 to 20 min. or until meat is done (145°F). Remove from oven; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 5 min. before slicing to serve.
