- Cover the pork with plastic wrap; pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick, starting from the middle and working outward

- Starting with a long side, tightly roll up each tenderloin
- Secure the seams with the toothpicks
- Preheat a grill to medium high; brush the grates with olive oil
- Brush the pork rolls with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
- Grill, turning, until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 140 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes
- Transfer to a cutting board to rest, about 10 minutes
- Mix the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons parsley, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl
- Remove the toothpicks and slice the pork rolls,top with parsley oil
