deguerre inspired stuffed pork loin w/ lots of pron

[jasonjax]

So yesterday I reached out to my fellow brethren for a "quick" BBQ option for dinner. Great responses as expected, but deguerre came up with a pork loin stuffed idea which sounded great, and I just so happened to have a loin in my freezer.

It turned out really good, but I learned some things and will tweak my technique. I should have butterflied instead of stuffed which is what deguerre suggested in the first place, but I thought I'd be fancy and try stuffing it instead.

So the recipe was: pork loin trimmed, nice hole through the length for stuffing, stuffed with sautéed celery, sweet peppers, onions, garlic, and Andouille sausage all wrapped in bacon, sprinkled with SMSS, and glazed with some Blue's Hog sauce with butter.

Onto the pronage!

Used a steel to make the hole and then opened it up a bit with a large bread knife.

Chopped the veges, and sausage is ready to be chopped as well.

Messy business this stuffing. And I kind of managed to split the loin due to putting too much in it a little too forcefully. Let's keep this clean!

This was a great experiment. Next time I will simply butter-fly as suggested by my elder, but it still turned out awesome. Worked out kind of well because the kids of course didn't want pieces with all that "stuff" in it so they got the end cuts which didn't get much of the stuffing. The flavor was phenomenal though. Definitely a do-again recipe!

Thanks for the recommendation deguerre!

Woo hoo! I'd hit that for sure! I can understand the desire to just stuff it though. :roll::becky::thumb:



But...elder? Seriously?!?:tsk:



























:-D

[deepsouth]

[Titch]

That looks great mate, I would have a go

[buccaneer]

Despite the trouble it gave you, turned out very tasty!

[Hdhillin]

Nice finished product. It looks great and I bet it tasted great also.

Very nice! The best part is learning what "not to do" while stuffing yourself with a great meal.

Wow!
