Loin Of Pork Stuffed With Cepes Or Truffles Food

STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Season loin with salt& pepper to taste.
• Arrange sage leaves over loin.
• Sear in cast iron skillet w/just enough oil to coat bottom of pan.
• Remove from stove top when sides are nicely browned.
• Mix together prepared stuffing with cranberries and chopped apple.
• Remove loin from skillet and make a slit down the long side of the loin (one side only- careful not to cut into two pieces).
• Loosely pack the stuffing into the cut loin and return to skillet- any extra can go around the outside of the loin.
• Bake at 400º on top rack of oven till done- 35-45 minutes.

STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• For the Stuffing:.
• In a medium sized bowl take the cream cheese, the shrimp, the jalapeno peppers, the green onions, and approximately ¼ cup of BBQ Rub and mix together. Set aside.
• Take a sharp knife and hollow out a hole thru the center of the pork loin approx 1-½ inches to 2 inches in diameter. Save the portion of the loin that you cut out. Take the stuffing mix and fill the hollow hole you created in the pork loin. Take a part of the loin (approximately 1 inches thick) that you cut out of the center of the loin and replace it on the two ends of the stuffed loin. Use tooth pics to hold the pieces of loin in place. Now simply use the Simple 1-2-3 method of applying Worcestershire sauce and then the remaining ½ cup of a BBQ Rub over the entire pork loin and place on your smoker or oven. Cook at approximately 200 to 225 degrees for 2 ½ to 3 hours till you get an internal temperature of 160 degrees. After about an hour on the smoker I usually form a boat with some aluminum foil and place the loin inside the boat. You can use an aluminum pan if you wish. The reason for the foil or the aluminum pan is as the center of the loin heats up the stuffing will begin to ooze out of the ends of the loin and this makes clean up a lot easier.
• Let the loin rest for about ½ hour then slice. It is a bit gooey but it is sooooo good.
• By the way you can make just the stuffing mix and use it as a dip. It is great by itself.

MORTADELLA-STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare pork: Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Coarsely crush peppercorns and 2 teaspoons kosher salt with mortar and pestle, then add garlic and mash until a paste forms.
• Stir in unsalted butter.
• If pork loin has been tied, discard strings.
• Put loin, fat side down, on a cutting board lined with plastic wrap.
• Butterfly pork in a spiral cut: Find beginning of a flap on 1 long side of loin (where bone was removed).
• Starting at inside edge of flap, make a long cut lengthwise down side of loin with a very sharp boning or paring knife, stopping 1 inch from bottom (this is beginning of spiral).
• Turn knife parallel to bottom of loin and begin to cut your way inward (parallel to bottom), keeping thickness of meat as even as possible, using your other hand to gently lift and pull top portion of meat away from knife, until loin is 1 long flat piece of meat.
• Cover pork with a sheet of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thick with a smooth meat pounder or rolling pin.
• Remove plastic wrap and spread 1 tablespoon truffle butter over pork.
• Top with half of mortadella, slightly overlapping slices.
• Spread 1 tablespoon truffle butter over mortadella, then top with remaining mortadella and spread with remaining tablespoon truffle butter.
• Beginning with end that was interior of loin, roll up loin tightly and arrange, seam side down (fat side up), on cutting board.
• If fat layer is 1/4 inch thick, make very close crosswise cuts in it (about 1/8 inch apart; do not cut through to meat), then tie with kitchen string at 1-inch intervals.
• Rub roast all over with peppercorn butter, covering fat layer well.
• Put pork, fat side up, on oiled rack in roasting pan and roast in middle of oven 20 minutes.
• Prepare potatoes: While pork is roasting, quarter potatoes.
• Toss with oil, rosemary, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Remove pork from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• Add potatoes to roasting pan, turning them in pan juices to coat, then roast pork with potatoes until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into meat registers 150°F, 90 minutes or so (watch carefully).
• Transfer pork to a platter and let stand 25 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F and remove rack from roasting pan.
• Spread potatoes out in pan, add mushrooms, and roast in middle of oven, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden brown, about 20 minutes more.
• (If there aren't enough pan juices to keep the mushrooms moist, add a splash of white wine.) Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm.
• Make sauce: Skim as much fat as possible from pan juices.
• Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add broth and deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute.
• Stir together water and cornstarch, then add to broth mixture and boil, whisking, 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and whisk in truffle butter.
• Discard string, then slice pork and serve with sauce, potatoes, and mushrooms.
• Cooks' note: Pork can be butterflied and stuffed 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Bring to room temperature before proceeding.

STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat margarine in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and celery in the hot margarine until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl. Stir bread into vegetables until moistened; season with salt and black pepper.
• Cut the pork loin almost in half lengthwise, cutting to about 1 inch from the bottom; open pork loin like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and lightly pound with a meat mallet to flatten the meat. Spoon stuffing onto the pork loin, roll the meat over the stuffing, and tie pork loin together in three places using kitchen twine.
• Place tied loin into a roasting pan and pour about 3 tablespoons water around the roast. Season roast with salt, black pepper, thyme, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder.
• Roast stuffed pork loin until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Rest meat for 15 minutes before untying and slicing.
