I had company coming for dinner and wanted something a little special so I decided to stuff a pork loin.
I started by making the stuffing.
I went with sage sausage stuffing. Here are my ingredients.
750 ml (3 cups) coarsely torn bread crumbs
75 ml (1/3 cup) chopped celery
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped onion
25 ml (2 tablespoons) fine chopped fresh sage (or 10 ml, 2 teaspoons dried)
125 grams (4 1/2 ounces) breakfast sausage, casing removed
25 ml (2 tablespoons) butter
2 ml (1/2 teaspoon) salt
2 ml (1/2 teaspoon) pepper
125 ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock
I tore the bread crumbs up.
I removed the sausage meat from the casings and measured my seasonings.
I melted the butter over medium heat and sauteed the onion and celery until it is soft.
I crumbled the sausage meat in and sauteed until it was cooked through and crumbly.
I added the seasonings and sauteed for 30 seconds.
I added the bread crumbs and sauteed until all the juices have been soaked up by the bread.
Add the chicken stock and stir to make a moist stuffing.
Remove from heat and set aside.
I had a 2 1/2 pound pork loin roast.
I cut into the roast 1/3 from the bottom from one edge and continued until there was 3/4 inch not cut through.
Starting at the other edge, I cut 1/3 from the top and continued until there was 3/4 inch not cut through.
The two cuts allowed me to spread the loin flat for stuffing.
I spread the stuffing on the roast.
I rolled it up.
I tied it with cotton string.
I fired the Bradley up to as high as it would go, just over 300 F with a mixture of pecan and apple pucks. It too 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to an internal temperature of 160 F.
We enjoyed Planters Punch while the meat smoked. Keeping hydrated is important.
I took the roast out and covered it with foil for 15 minutes.
I carved it and served it with creamy coleslaw and pasta salad (thanks to She Who Must Be Obeyed).
Dessert was cherry cobbler.
It was a great meal. Life is good in the Rockies.
