Dinner in progress. Rosemary grilled pork loin and crispy new potatoes - pics

Cookinbob

Rainy day here, #2 son and I are collaborating on  dinner tonight.  A Rosemary Grilled Pork loin from Raichlin's Barbecue Bible, crispy new potatoes from Serious Eats, and some sauteed cauliflower.  Only the pork will be cooked on the egg (on the small with Apple for smoke).  Arcade Fire is playing on the Bose, an Imperial dark rye ale is in the glasses.  More pics will follow.

Looks like the makings of a great dinner and a great evening. I love sharing a cook with someone, lots of fun. My wife and I colobrate on most every cook.

Looks like we have a winner.

Here is an unsolicited tip that another fellow egghead recommended to me:

If you like using apple wood with your pork, you should try pear wood.

I actually have a bunch of pear wood, thanks to a neighbor who lost a tree last winter.  Happened to choose the apple for this one, but I have used the pear once or twice.  Thanks for the tip!

Coming right along.  IT is 118, potatoes are in the oven @ 500 deg, I will end up pulling and foiling this to rest until the sides are ready

All done, Dinner was great!  

Sauteeing Cauliflower and brown butter with garlic

Lemon zest, parsley and Chives for the potatoes

Sides complete

The main event

Plated and paired with a home brewed IPA

I have to say, the pork was really good but not stellar.  I forgot to add salt and pepper to the pesto stuffing, so I don't think the rosemary and garlic permeated the meat as much as they would have particularly with the salt.  Still had a great time cooking and eating tonight!

Anxious to see the final cook!
