For the Grill

Take a 1 1/2" butterfly cut and marinate it for 45 minutes in the following concoction.

Ginger Soy Sauce a goodly amount
Teriyaki Sauce - an equally goodly amount
1 tblspn of meat tenderizer
4 well ground cloves of garlic
Lemon Pepper - 1 tblspn
Honey - maybe 2 tblspn

Blend mixture with a whisk and ad pork chops then ad Apple Juice - enough to make sure the chops are covered.
I like to then take the whole mess and put it in a flat tuperware bowl and shake it to mix it thoroughly over the meat after I ad the apple juice.

Grill preperation.

Nice and hot then put mesquite chips on the edge just close enough to get them smoking good. Put the chops on to sear on one side and ad lemon pepper to the upside and baste with marinade. Continue this turning and basting until done. (that means no red - we are talking pork here people)

Peace

Andouille 1
Recipe: Chef John Folse

Andouille is the Cajun smoked sausage so famous nationally today.True andouille is stuffed into the
beef middle casing which makes the sausage approximately one and a half inches in diameter.When
smoked over pecan wood and sugar cane, it becomes very dark to almost black in color. It is not uncommon
for the Cajuns to smoke andouille for seven to eight hours at approximately 175 degrees.
Traditionally, the andouilles from France were made from the large intestines and stomach of the pig,
seasoned heavily and smoked. In parts of Germany, where some say andouille originated, the sausage was
made with all remaining intestines and casings pulled through a larger casing, seasoned and smoked. It
was served thinly sliced as an hors d?oeuvre.
It is interesting to note that the finest andouille in France comes from the Brittany and Normandy
areas. It is believed that over half of the Acadian exiles who came to Louisiana in 1755 were originally
from these coastal regions.


5 pounds pork butt 1/2 pound pork fat
1/2 cup chopped garlic 1/4 cup cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon dry thyme
4 tablespoons salt
6 feet beef middle casing (see butcher or specialty shop)

Cube pork butt into one and a half inch cubes and grind through a 1/4 cup plate, or hand chop coarsely.
Blend in all remaining ingredients. Stuff meat into casings in one foot links.Tie both ends of the sausage
securely using a heavy gauge twine. Smoke andouille at 175-200ºF for approximately four to five hours
using pecan or hickory wood.The andouille may then be frozen if desired

SOURCE: Shadows

For the rub:

1 tables light brown sugar
1 tables chili powder
1 tables kosher salt

1 5 pork shoulder roast (Boston butt) bone-in
2 handfu hickory/mesquite chips soaked for at least 30 min.

3 tables granulated sugar
1 teaspo Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspo kosher salt
1/2 teaspo cayenne
1/4 teaspo freshly ground black pepper

Mayonnaise


To make the rub: In a small bowl combine all the rub ingredients. Press the rub mixture all over the pork roast. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

Grill the pork over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is very tender but still juicy (the internal temperature next to, but not touching, the bone should be 180°F to 190°F), 4 to 5 hours, turning every hour or so. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or coals about halfway through cooking. When done, remove the pork from the grill, cover lightly with a piece of aluminum foil, and allow to stand for 30 minutes.

To make the sauce: In a medium saucepan combine the sauce ingredients with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Keep warm.

Pull the pork into shreds with two forks or your fingers. Discard any outer sections that may have burned or any large bits of fat inside. In a large bowl moisten the shredded meat with the sauce (you may not need all of it) and mix well. Serve warm or at room temperature on toasted buns brushed with mayonnaise.

Just got ahold of an awesome stuffed pork recipe from my chef instructor. We used this recipe last saturday in one of our 'I Love To Cook' series that we host at school for those who don't want to be a fulltime chef but would like to learn a few techniques and recipes that can be considered gourmet.

Hope ya'll will enjoy it

Pork Loin with Dried Cranberry and Chestnut Stuffing

Temp: 350 degrees fahrenheit

4 pounds Pork Loin, trimmed and pounded flat
16 ounces Canned or Freshly Roasted and Peeled Chestnuts
8 ounces Dried Cranberries, soaked in cider until plump
16 ounces French Bread, diced and toasted until brown
2 Shallots, peeled and minced
1 Bunch Fresh Sage, slice 1/2 and leave other half whole for garnish
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
6 ounces Smoked Bacon, chopped and rendered
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoons Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Butchers Twine

Method:
In a hot pan. quickly sear both sides of the pork loin until browned then place in cooler until ready to stuff.
In a seperate pan, add the bacon and render on low heat until crisp. Reserve bacon and drain grease.
Meanwhile, toast the bread in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until golden brown (about 10-20 minutes) and reserve.
Next, in a saucepan, add cranberries and enough cider to just cover and simmer over low heat until they plump back up.
Next, add the oil, butter, and shallots to the pan and sweat until shallots are translucent. Add the chestnuts, cranberries, cider, and reduce.
Add bacon, bread cubes, thyme and stir thoroughly, cooking until heated through. Finally, add the sage and season to taste.
Pour stuffing on a sheetpan and allow to cool to room temperature.
To assemble, season both sides of the pork and place flat on a cutting board. Spread stuffing over pork, leaving a 1 inch border. Roll the pork loin tightly and secure with the butchers twine. Roast in oven (350 Fahrenheit) for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through ( insert thermometer in pork near center and if a reading of 170 degrees F, then it is done). Let it rest for 15 minutes at room temp before slicing.

This will make 10-12 servings


Enjoy!!

That sounds awesome. When you say cider, do you mean apple cider? And what do you mean by "render"? That is a term I've heard, but I don't know what it means.

I may actually try this. Sounds like a good Turkey alternative for Thanksgiving.
