I wanted to do this over the weekend, but the rain shut me down. So yesterday afternoon I went home and began construction of this monster.
Did an UGLY butterfly job on the loin
Coated the inside of the loin with a mixture of rough chopped garlic, rosemary leaves, thyme, and tarragon all suspended in EVOO. Then salted and pepper were added.
These onions add a very different flavor to the mix and we use them in a lot of different things.
Next came some Tillamook pepper jack cheese and spinach
Another flavor booster here that pairs very well with the pork
Added some homemade pepperoni
And some homemade mortadella and mettwurst
Rolled it up as best I could, it was quite full! Trussed it and stabbed it with the rotisserie rod
Onto the rotisserie and cooked to 148 IT. Note the cheese that melted out of the rolled seam. When people question you about rotisserie items self basting, this shows it! The exterior of the loin had a nice cheese coating to it when it was done!
Finally, all sliced up and into my belly! I will do this again very soon!
Almost forgot, I sliced chops from the remainder of the loin and have those in a bucket of curing brine... But that's for another time...
