Strain soaking liquid through a fine mesh strainer, reserving 2/3 cup., In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Remove from the heat; stir in the bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons parsley and sausage., Preheat oven to 350°. Make a lengthwise slit down the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom.

Bake, uncovered, 55-65 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into center of stuffing reads 165° and thermometer inserted in pork reads at least 145°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing., Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute remaining shiitake mushrooms in butter until tender. Sprinkle with flour; stir until blended. Gradually add broth and remaining 1/3 cup mushroom soaking liquid. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in remaining parsley, salt and pepper. Serve with pork.
