Stuffed Pork Loin

edited May 2012 in EggHead Forum

Been awhile since I've posted anything. Just been sick and then busy, haven't had time to cook since that pork butt. I got the urge to cook Monday, but the wife asked if I'd rather she made fried chicken....I ain't a guy who turns down fried chicken. Anyway, finally got a chance to cook last night. Decided on a stuffed pork loin.

Pork loin is too big for just the two of us, so I cut it in half, and then cut half of it into 4 chops.

Stuffed the pork loin with sauted spinach, shrooms, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese and some garlic and herb goat cheese.

Then rolled it and wrapped with bacon and onto the grill with some Hasselback taters

Ain't she purty?

Came out good, but I'd skip the cream cheese next time. Looking forward to firing up the Egg again tonight.

    How do you go about opening up the meat so that it can be stuffed?

    Thanks guys.

    Alynd - I'll try and explain what I did and hope in makes sense. If you look at the first picture and locate the 2 lb section. Imagine placing your left hand on top of it and with the knife in your right hand make a horizontal cut from right to left, cutting almost, but not all the way through. Then you will be able to unfold it like a book. Some people stop there or pound out the pork with a meat hammer to get it thinner. Here's where I can't really explain it good. I took my knife and starting from the center and working to the left, I made another horizontal cut, making it half the thickness. I then repeated that on the right side of the center. Geez....I don't think that made sense, did it? Let me see if I can find a diagram or pciture online somewhere. i should have taken more pictures.

    Haha. Don't know if I got mad at it, but since I haven't done anything in awhile and I keep seeing all y'all knocking it out of the park, I had to step it up. BTW....my first stuffed pork loin...ever! :D

    There was a method in one of the bon appetit issues that showed how to do it but I got confused and wound up nearly destroying mine. I found this on bonappetit.com:

    1. Set the pork on a cutting board with 1 short end facing you, fat side down. Using a long, thin, sharp knife and starting 1/2 inch above the underside of the roast, cut 1/2-inch in, along the right side.

    2. Continue cutting 1/2 inch above the underside of the roast, unrolling the meat as you cut

    I made the 1st cut ok, but mine didn't want to unfold...I know it was operator error!

    By the way, Griff......nice job on the stuffed pork loin!

    Very nice, Grif.  I think it's still too big for two people.   :)
