Title: Tuscan pork loin
Post by: westexasmoker on September 22, 2008, 05:37:47 AM
One 4 lb pork loin trimmed of fat and butterflied with two trenches per side

6 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves
1 tbls kosher salt
1 tbls black pepper
2 tbls olive oil

Into your chopper to make a paste, spread paste over your pork loin

Time for a little bondage...Fold pork loin back over, using butchers twine tie at 1 inch intervals.  Paste that is forced out is spread on the outside.  Let rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight would be even better)  Remove from fridge and let it rest while the smoker heats up

Into the smoker @ 220 using your choice of wood (you know what I used  ;D)  2 hours of smoke, until IT of 150, about 4-5 hours

Pull from smoker and FTC till dinner time

Looks good WTS...what would you serve that with? A pasta perhaps? Maybe a veggie ladend pasta...like a primavera? No sauce to speak of...just a drizzle of olive oil and S&P?

LQ,

Last night I was to beat to even care about what went with the pork (5 acres of mowing and weed eating)
Tonight with the leftovers some nice pasta with a tomato sauce and stewed tomato base and garlic, along with garlic toast!  Too bad garlic doesn't work on mosquitos, the little bas**rds had a feast on me yesterday!  :o

Sounds good WTS...just wondered if it could be garlic over-kill. Don't get me wrong...I'd do it in a heartbeat...but I'm a bit of a garlic freak...just thought about a nice little side dish (w/o garlic) for people who are not as freaky as I???  ;D Well...and you... :D

6 cloves of garlic isn't overload unless maybe it was on a little crouton.   ;)
Now 1/4 cup of rosemary is probably over the top for me.   :o

Looks great WTS.

It is 4lbs of pork tho Giz...My assumption is WTS meant 1/4 cup fresh before the chopper...not overkill on the loin with the paste (looking at the pic)...WTS can comment better then I...
