Fewer things bring more joy than a perfectly cooked pork roast.\u00a0 It should be juicy and have crispy browned textures all at the same time.\u00a0 I love doing this roast with pork belly, but a whole pork loin is hard to pass up.\u00a0 Sure, it’s a humble cut, but I like to dress it up.\u00a0 It’s a bit of work, but if you give yourself plenty of time it won’t be stressful.<\/p>\n

You could be lazy and just cut the loin on one side down the middle and stuff it like that and be done with it.\u00a0 I prefer to butterfly it out and then roll it up.\u00a0 It’s a lovely presentation with the stuffing swirled in the middle.\u00a0 And it flavors the meat more thoroughly.\u00a0 I’ve done it a myriad of ways….most recently was with a cherry bread crumb stuffing for Amanda’s French themed birthday party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This time, I did a fennel, garlic, apple, and rosemary combination.\u00a0 I jammed that junk into the food processor and then I sauteed it in some butter and slathered it all over my butterflied pork loin.\u00a0 I wrapped it in bacon, tied it, and brushed it with maple syrup….not to be confused with maple flavored corn syrup.\u00a0 Please don’t use that stuff.\u00a0 Gagomatic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I rather liked it.\u00a0 Even though traditional Americana type food is my least favorite (but still above Indian food) I think I’d make it again.\u00a0 That’s the cool thing about\u00a0 a pork loin…it’s a blank canvas.\u00a0 And it’s reasonably priced to feed a crowd.\u00a0 If you’re not feeding a crowd, you can cut that sucker up into three family of four meals and do it three different ways…stuffed, chops, or a simple roast and the flavor combinations are endless.<\/p>\n
