Pea meal is just cured pork loin that has been rolled in either coarsely ground pea meal, or coarsely ground corn meal, and not smoke or cooked; but if you want to smoke/cook it you could. After the loin is fully cured, and rinsed; allow it to air dry 15 - 20 minutes. The roll it in the coarse pea meal or corn meal, until it is well covered. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight - if you are going to smoke/cook it do it after this step. At this point I slice it as I need it, and pan fry it. Often I will dip the sliced in beaten egg, then dip the slice in corn meal before frying.
