<p />Began with one 5 1/2 pork loin from Kroger (on sale at the moment at $1.99 lb. Butterflied ans coated with raspberry chipotle sauce and dried fruit. Cashews were added after this picture was taken.[p]Loin was then closed, rubbed with more raspberry chipotle, and wrapped with bacon and tied. It then went into egg (indirect using plate setter and drip pan)until internal registered 138. Removed, rested, temp climbed to 146.

Take two russet potatoes, peel, slice down center to halve the potato lengthwise. Run out to woodshop and rip two pieces of maple about 1/8" thick. (You could of course use anything else that would serve the same purpose).

Place potato half between the strips and make a series of vertical cuts at about 1/16 intervals. The wood will prevent the knife from slicing through the base of the potato - you want a "hinge" to remain.

Remove pan from oven, add potatoes, spoon oil over tops, sprinkle with salt, roast for half an hour. Remove pan,, push potatoes around to make sure that they are not stuck, spoon oil remaining in the pan over the potatoes,

roast 30 minutes more.[p]Meanwhile, take 1 head bok choy, seperate stem from greens. Saute stem pieces in one tablespoon peanut oil for 5 to 7 minutes until browned. Add greens along with a mixture of 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Saute until liquid has evaporated.[p]Make plates, garnish bok choy with toasted sesame seed - enjoy! Note that Sue E's potatoes have browned nicely and the vertical cuts result in a "fanned" effect. The exterior and underside is flavorful and crunchy, the interior moist and succulent.[p]MrToadsPorkLoin013.jpg[p][p]
