2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Mix onions and remaining ingredients. Spread half of onion mixture on pork; roll up. Fasten with metal skewers. Place pork, fat side down, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Spoon any remaining stuffing over top of pork. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of pork and does not rest in stuffing.
