Bacon-wrapped Pork Shoulder stuffed with Sausage Meat, Sage and Apricot ... from SWMBO

Stormbringer

Everything is better with bacon. So on that basis, we threw together three different types of pork (sausage, bacon and shoulder) last night.

Pork shoulder was butterflied, then mushroom, sage, apricots and sausage meat layered onto the pork. Rolled, wrapped with bacon and hog-tied  (very appropriate word). Cooked on the MM indirect at 375F/190C until internal temp was 146F/63C. Pork roll set aside, platesetter removed and pork returned for direct cooking for two minutes each side.

Photographs and ... well, the whole thing apart from lighting the egg and cooking the thing ... courtesy of SWMBO, who for once wasn't chasing Pokemon during the cook.

Wrapped and ready to go. The skewers came in handy later.



Watching the internal temp with a kitchen thermometer:



Take the joint off (using the skewers), remove the platesetter and replace the joint:



Then flip onto the other side, again using those handy skewers:



And it's ready!

Thanks. What was "Porkelicious" was having the leftovers for breakfast.

I used the leftovers to make Vietnamese banh mi rolls, complete with pickled carrot and daikon and coriander (cilantro). Fried the pork in lemongrass paste to give it that authentic kick.

Hmm .. hungry again now. And it's lunchtime, hurrah!

I guess if you were out of biscuits that will have to do!  Man that sounds awesome.  I really want to try a banh mi roll.  I haven't had one but I love all of those ingredients.

This may be a cultural thing ... in the UK a biscuit is something one dunks into a cup of tea, so not really something to go with leftover pork. What are biscuits on your side of the pond? Some sort of roll or bun?

You can do that, but a biscuit is more eaten at breakfast with something like jelly spread on it or you can use it to make a sandwich.  That is what they are talking about here.  A biscuit is also used as a desert topped with fruit and whip cream.  We mostly dunk doughnuts in coffee.
