Pork loin crusted ‘Hoggzza’
Options

Posts: 4,768
I had 5lb of pork loin leftover from the ‘Bombaflowerspinalone’, thing, I made the other day, & didn’t feel like hack’n up this half with my pitiful knife skills, so I fabricated a pizza crust out of 1/4 inch discs cut from the loin. Common sense (which I selectively ignore when cooking and may explain why I never have any arm hair) would dictate this be done on a flat sheet of some sort for easy post-cooking removal & cutting, but with a sheet on the bottom & the cheese & toppings on top acting like a gasket, there would be no way for the pork to absorb the smoke, then what would be the point? There is also the problem of shrinkage/curling up of the pork while cooking. 2 steps lead to the promise land of full issue resolution:
1) Fan the discs out on a pizza grid overlapping each slice to form one continuous & liquid-proof surface. Add a second grid on top with a little weight & cook 1/2 way.
2) Remove from egg, remove top grid & cover with foil, put back, flip, top, back to the egg till toppings are done.
Yes, I have been drinking again.
The meat preparation, cut, trimmed, pounded a little, fanned, oiled & rubbed:
Grid two added, indirect on the egg at about 400ish till the pork was about ½ done:
About 10 minutes later:
I flipped it & the seasoned top became the bottom ‘crust’, & applied the toppings & returned to the egg:
Helmet cam view:
After about 20 minutes total:
The ‘crust’:
Slices very well all things considered:
The wife called it ‘stupid-good’, I agreed. This may be a good way to get kids to eat nice lean pork with their veggies all in one place. To make it even more fun for kids, make Hoggzza-inos, which would be individual sized (single disc) mini pizzas, have the kids top with whatever they like, you can fit a few on each screen...

Sometimes I wonder if you ain't just a hair off...
'Course I say that as I start to imagine what I can build my own pork loin pie out of :laugh:
Seriously? It looks tremendous. -
Well, no great genius has existed without some touch of madness. I still don't know to which of these qualities I should attribute this creation.
-

I read this Web site daily, but I post only infrequently. Your post has motivated me to reply.
This is one of the most creative use of on-hand food resources I have ever seen.
Congratulations. I'll have some of whatever you're drinking.
Don't forget to cheer for the Texas Longhorns tomorrow against Ohio State. -

Zips-Do you deliver? If you left your house now you could be here in time for the Eagles game. With a mind like that, I would love to see you in action in the courtroom.
Making a bunch of wings for the game coated in "Kick Ya In Your Sak Rub". Can't wait!

Sparky,
That's a great idea! Ya know that drinking makes you smarter cause the brain cells it kills are the weak ones anyway. It's like natural selection or Darwin or something like that. You are left with only real high quality ones at the end though. :laugh:
