Need Pork Loin Recipe

Unknown

Does anyone have any recipes and tips about cooking a pork loin? They seem to be really lean so my thoughts are that it would be better if it was stuffed with something. [p]Any recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks

Source: BGE Forum, Richard Fl, 2007/07/01[p]If I were going to be doing one from the start would get the BGE to 300-325F and the cooking time should be closer to 1- 1 1/2 hours for a loin this size.[p]07/15/07--Someone on the forum mentioned that Mr Toad started the stuffed loin many years ago. Thank you SIR!. He cut a loin into thirds horizontallly and I think I will try the sliced into thirds and pounded a bit next time.[p]2008/01/29 Richard Fl: Small BGE indirect @350F. Made a #4 Loin tonight, butterflyed like a jelly roll. , added 4 Tbs Bacon Bits and a couple of tablespoons of Zaater (MidEast spice blend) to the mix along with cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Nice change. store was out of capicola, so used sliced baked ham.
