Italian Stuffed Pork Loin

[millerbuilds]

Decided to make a smoked stuffed pork loin, this time with Italian Flavors
Stuffing: Venison Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions, ricotta, mozzarella, and garlic.

Butterflied the pork loin (messed up and sliced through, but that's ok).

Fried up some Venison Italian Sausage

Sautéed Mushrooms and onions with some butter and garlic

Laid out some bacon (did not have enough for a full basket weave) seasoned the pork with some Italian seasoning

Ready to stuff and roll. Homemade pasta sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, mushrooms and onions, and garlic ready.

Rolled up, wrapped with twine and ready to go on to the smoker (275 degrees with cherry wood)

About an hour in

Pulled at 142 IT and let rest for 15 minutes

Turned out great. Misread the jar of pasta sauce; it was Arrabbiata sauce, so it had a wonderful kick, but the ricotta offset the heat. It was a hit with the family, and we will make it again!

Looks good! I was planning to make an Italian Fatty but this looks interesting and I haven't made a Pork Loin roll in a long time. Pork Loin is usually on sale around here and I already have most of the ingredients (I'll be using Italian sausage instead of Venison).

Nicely done!

That was how I ended up doing it, needed to do something different to break up the pace. Thank you!

David, Thank you, added a touch of honey powder to the rub on the outside to get the color. My new favorite substitute for sugar.

Thanks Jason, I will have to look for the Honey powder and give it a try. I use a lot of honey in things.
Even in my tea everyday. Does the powder taste like Honey say tasting it just like it is.

David, yes, very much like honey, just a different texture (powder vs. liquid).

This is the last batch I bought from Spiceology, the previous batch I bought from Raw Essentials Spices. Could not tell the difference.

So far, I have only used in rubs and blend into my 0% Fat Greek Yogurt....


Good luck,
