Apple/Walnut Stuffed Center Cut Pork Loin with Pomegranite/Blueberry Sauce

[muebe]

Store had some nice looking center cut pork loins on sale for $2.99 a lb. They are perfect for cutting into thick boneless pork chops and for stuffing

First I divided two of the loins into chops, seasoned, and then vac sealed for another day...

Then I butterflied the other two and applied some Penzy's Apple Pie Seasoning on the interior...

Here is a shot of some of the players...

First I cut up the Apples and crushed the Walnuts. Then I sautee'd them in a pan for a few minutes with butter and hickory smoked sugar to get some color and soften a bit...

Then mix in one raw egg(whipped) and 3 slices of bread sectioned into squares...

After that I made a small amount Pomegranite/Blueberry sauce using hickory smoked sugar, POM drink, and butter...

Then I poured that into the stuffing and mixed it...

Time to add the stuffing mix and crumbled blue cheese...

Rolled them up and secured with silicone baking bands. The outside of the loins were coated with Penzy's Rocky Mountain Seasoning...

I pre-heated the Memphis to 450F with a mix of Pecan and Apple wood pellets. Then I put them on the top rack with frog mats in place...

I let them ride at 450F for 10 minutes then I dropped the temp down to 350F. I took them both to a IT of 150F. The smaller one finished first at 1 hour and 20 minutes of cook time. The second one at 1 hour 40 minutes...

Then I pulled and gave them a 20 minute rest...

Made some more sauce but more thickened like a glaze...

Time to carve...

Plated with Santa Fe salad and scallop potatoes with bacon bits. The cut loins were topped with more pomegranite/blueberry sauce...

Was fantastic! Great combo of flavors!

Thanks for looking

Muebe, Muebe, Muebe!!! Are you a gastronomic consultant full time or just part time? That meal required a lot of "thinking outside-the-box". Nicely done!! I love the way you put the whole meal together. Too bad you live so far from NC.

I love that idea of combining apples, walnut and blue cheese! I gotta try that.

Apple and pork is a great combo! In a local BBQ competition this year I made an apple, onion and cheese stuffed pork loin and we made 2nd place in the pork category.
