Roasted Herb-Stuffed Pork Loin (Arista dI Maiale)

in EggHead Forum
This is a classic recipe from Coco Lezzone in Florence that caught to my attention.  Made it tonight for our guests.  A tunnel is created in the pork loin.  It is then stuffed with fresh sage, rosemary, garlic and S & P.  S & P plus some Jim's Own (not in the traditional recipe ;) on the outside.  Cooked it indirect at 350 with a few chunks of apple wood.  This was really good.  Only change would be to use roasted garlic.  The fresh garlic was a little too strong.  Garlic mashers and broccoli on the side.

    Wow that looks good.  I zoomed in and I see a LOT of garlic in that there stuffing mix. Wowza!!!
    dis you core out a hole in it somehow?  Or just insert a narrow knife and then stuff it?

    Brother ski, I followed the traditional italian recipe.  It called for creating the hollow with the handle of a wooden spoon.  That's what I did.  The spoon handle dissected along the grain easily.  Stuffing took some work and ended up graduated end to center.  No unhappy diners.  Roasted garlic next round.

    Another home run. Love that view overlooking the lake. Does that stay year round or do the leaves get in the way during the warmer months?

    That is beautiful Brent. I have done stuffed pork loin roasts, but I sliced, stuffed and retired the roast. I want to try the spoon method. It is a lot of work either way. Looks awesome, and very delicious. Great cook and presentation. Worth the effort.

    That's off the charts nice. What's cool is that looks simple to make but is flavorful and will impress the guests. I'm definitely going to steal this recipe.

    Good idea, I did them at the Eggtoberfest a couple years ago they were a hit for sure.
