Pulled that other half of pork loin out of the freezer and let it defrost.
Scratched my head thinking of what to do with it... Stuff that sucker!
But with what, sweet or savory, "Hey Mom, I'm cooking tonight, sweet or savory?" "Savory!" she replied.
Check the fridge for likely ingredients and hit on a winning combo.

That's a beauty for sure.

Sliced that loin so even, then the stuffing so even though out.

Great job as always.
 
Great job CR!

That is a picture perfect looking stuffed loin!

Congrats & a point for making the carousel!

Fantastic pictures and an even better final product!

I haven't done a stuffed pork loin in a long time. When I was cooking for ten people, I did it fairly often. Now with just three or four (and we generally don't eat large portions of meat), it just doesn't fit into the menu. I'll have to do one this summer for a pool party...
 
Ooòooooh that looks delicious. And the roll job resulted in one of the best pinwheel effects I've seen!!

I've always stuffed my loins and tenderloins with fruit but, trust me, for my next one I'm going to steal your idea.

POINTS for a great job.

Thanks NoBoundaries, it did turn out pretty good, so the family said.
Oh, and thanks for the Point too.

Thank you very kindly for the compliments and Point Doug.
Yeah, at a minimum I'm cooking for three five and most often seven.
So I cook big meals and the leftovers don't usually last past the next day's lunch.
Thanks again.

Thanks Gary, the jelly roll did come out pretty good, I was well pleased.
I almost went sweet with apple, raisins, walnuts, pearl onions, celery and spices.
But I let my MiL call it for sweet or savory, glad she chose savory cause it was tasty.

Appreciate the Point.
 
Beautiful! Unfortunately my screen isn't scratch-and-sniff ...

How exactly did you do the butterfly? I've done it by setting up a jig with a serrated carving knife, handle sliding on the table, with a cutting board to support the end of the blade:


I got this result


Fresh herbs, fine-diced apple, salt etc., then roast in oven

Thanks BW.
LMAO, wouldn't it be great if we could send aroma.
But then again, there is great evil :icon_twisted: in this world, so maybe not. :eek:

#1 buy the largest , thickest loins they have to facilitate easy cutting.
I start by removing most of, if not all of my fat cap.
Square an end.
And then using my favorite 12" cimeter knife I start a cut approx 3/4" thick and simply cut and peel, unrolling it as I go.
Then I use a meat mallet to attain a even thickness on any thicker sections. This also spreads the loin out for more filling area and a longer jelly roll or pinwheel.
Even filling thickness and even pressure while rolling will yield that pretty picture of a jelly roll when sliced.

Cool! I didn't pound mine.

I do the same thing with using part of a loin at a time; when the price is good I'll buy one and cut it into thirds, cook one right away and freeze the other two for later. Yesterday I roasted one of those, no jellyroll but deep scoring of the fat cap and a generous rub ... a bit too much pepper for Linda but it made the kitchen smell of pork and garlic.

So, a chilehead, huh? You should check this board out if you're not there already:

I'm alex s there.
 
Boy does that look tasty! Great job.

Kind of new to the smoking thing and I am enjoying trying new things, a stuffed pork loin will be going onto my list of things to try.

Yeah, I like my chiles, life would suck without delicious, spicy hot food.
I've tried the Carolina Reaper, but I think I'll avoid the new Dragon's Breath.
No, not familiar with that site, I'll check it out later, thanks.
