This is one of those recipes that once you've made it, you can't remember how you got along without it. While somewhat time consuming it's well worth the wait. I wish I could claim credit for this but it's based off of a recipe from the master of Cajun cuisine, Paul Prudhomme. Leftovers from this are fantastic reheated or made into sandwiches. Though if you're making it for more than a couple people you'll be lucky to have left overs at all.
Ingredients: - 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp ground red savina (or cayenne if you want less heat)
- 1 tsp smoked spanish paprika
- 1 tsp dride thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1 TBSP minced garlic
- 3 TBSP unsalted butter
- 1 TBSP vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups Mirepoix blend OR 1/2 cup each diced onion, green pepper and celery
- 1 4lb boneless pork loin roast
Directions:
- Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl.
- Place all ingredients except for the roast in a large skillet.
- Saute over high heat, for around 6 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Allow mixture to cool.
- Place meat in a roasting pan, or casserole dish fat side up.
- Cut several deep slits lengthwise being careful not to cut through the roast.
- Stuff the pockets with the vegetable mixture, then rub remaining mixture into the meat by hand.
- If any of the mixture is left, spread it evenly across the top.
- Bake uncovered at 275F for 3 hours then at 425F until dark brown on top and meat is white in the center, 10 - 15 minutes more.
- Remove from oven and rest meat for 10 minutes before serving.
