Bacon on top of pork lion done.

Darnoc

Had asked earlier about bacon on top of the lion which I have never done before.I did nuke extra thick bacon for sixty seconds.Then flattened out the lion.

Then sauteed some mushrooms and onion till browned up.Then added a little spinach
till it wilted.Then drained it on a paper towel

Then put a layer of prosciutto on the lion.Topped with the mushrooms and cashew nuts.

Then some mozzarella and white cheddar on top of that.

Then the thick nuked bacon on top and tied up.

Then cooked till it was 145 degrees and pulled.It did turn out good but not great.Next time I will flatten it out a tad more thinner and add more stuffing to the lion.So what if it will ooze out.But that might be the best part.
This is the finished cook.

Beers to all.No rain for ten hours here in Baltimore and got the chance to cut the grass.

That looks great. I have been thinking of what to cook Moms day and I think this is one of the winners. Was this a direct cook?

Beautiful cook. The stuffing choices are endless. Here is one I do sometimes.

It was a indirect cook with the plate setter legs up at a pre heated 350 degree dome temp.Cooked for thirty minutes then raised the temp to as close to 400 as I could get till the internal temperature was at 145.Did not want to fry the Polder probe.

Must be the adult beverage catching up, or age.

Darnoc, your pork looks very good.

Sorry you are having all that rain. I am not used to the kind of rain you had there last weekend and since then - in FL we get giant thunderstorms that clear up quickly, or a major drought like we are having now. I can't even remember the last time it rained.

You make me feel like putting a notch in my belt for a good cook.Thank you for the comment.

Richard Fl

I take some HDAF and layer it a couple of times and then wrap around my probe, about an inch on the probe and another 5-6 on the wire which is both inside and out of the BGE. Have not fried one yet, but might this weekend now that you know my secret.

Great ideas on the stuffing. Great flavors to go together.

Looks like it turned out very moist.

Richard Fl

Thank you for the translation. I knew there was intelligent life around. PS did you get my message?

Darnoc

Thanks gal.I remember from some where it rains like heck at around two and then all is bright and sunny for the rest of the day.

Darnoc

Indeed it was.After resting for ten minutes there was a lot of juice to pour over top of the meat.

So, it took 45 min to 60 min cook time?

Got my pork loin and ready to cook for Moms day. I am thinking about stuffing half of it with Cajun sausage and cheese.
