ROASTED STUFFED PORK LOIN

• For the stuffing: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, season with a generous pinch of salt and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes and saute for another minute. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• For the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes and sage and whisk until blended. Set aside while you prepare the pork loin.
• For the pork loin: Slice the pork along the bone about 2 1/2 inches down into the loin from end to end, creating a long flap that opens like a book. Season the inside with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Place the cooled sauteed onions inside the pocket along the length of the loin. Tie the loin closed using butcher's twine: Start at one end and tie it securely. Then work on the other end to tie it shut. Work your way toward the center, tying the loin between each rib.
• Place the pork loin in a large baking dish or bowl. Pour the marinade over it and use a brush to coat all sides. Cover the dish securely with plastic wrap, swish it all around to ensure the loin is covered with the marinade and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.
• Place the chipotle pepper in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of hot water into the bowl and let it sit to rehydrate for 15 minutes. Once it is rehydrated, give it a rough chop. Reserve the liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork loin from the marinade, making sure to save the remaining marinade. Sear the loin until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the seared loin in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or roasting pan.
• Turn down the heat on the skillet to medium, add the chopped onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the chipotle and season with salt, pepper and the oregano.

Using a wooden spoon, scrape up all the brown bits from the skillet and let the liquid come to a simmer. Pour everything from the skillet over the pork loin. Transfer it to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, about 1 hour 30 minutes, making sure to baste the loin every 20 minutes or so.
• Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes. Remove the butcher's twine before slicing. Strain the pan juices and serve them alongside the pork.

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.

Cook for about10 minutes, add the stuffing mix, salt and pepper to taste and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees, take a sharp knife and cut a large pocket in the center of the roast going completely through the roast season the inside of the roast with a small amount of salt and pepper then drizzle some EVOO on the outside and sprinkle the rub on the outside of the roast aprox 1 tbsp per side massaging it into the meat on both sides.(I use Wolfgang Pucks Steak Rub which can be ordered online) Stuff the center of the roast with the stuffing and place roast on rack fat side down in a roasting pan and cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and cook for 1 hour, place remainder of the stuffing in a coated baking dish cover with aluminum and place in oven at this time.

• Remove the Roast on a rack and set aside to rest while you prepare the Gravy. Pour a about ¼ to ½ cup white wine into roasting pan to deglaze the pan, a Nice Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio will do just fine and use a wooden scraper to deglaze the pan being sure to get all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, add Butter and flour to create a rue slowly add first cup of pork stock while vigorously whisking to dissolve the rue continue whisking occasionally while bringing to a boil.
