Ingredients
- 2 to 3 lb Pork Loin; Trimmed of excess fat
- 1 pkg of Apple Maple Boursin Cheese (warmed to room temp)
- 1 pkg of Bacon
- subheading: For the Apple Stuffing:
- 4 tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp raisins, chopped
- ½ cup chopped apple
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped almonds
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- subheading: For the Dry Rub:
- 3 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 3 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp powdered ginger
- 6 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp ground oregano
- 1 tbsp ground thyme
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 2 tbsp dry mustard powder
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
Steps
- In a small saucepan, bring 4 tablespoons broth to a boil. Remove from the heat; add raisins. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray; sauté the apple, celery and onion for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; stir in the broth mixture, nuts, and pepper.
- While mixture is cooling, mix together dry rub (store any unused dry rub in an airtight container). Ensure there are no lumps.
- Make a lengthwise slit down the center of the roast to within ½ in. of bottom. Continue to filet the roast, unrolling it as you cut, so roast lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to ½-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap; spread Boursin cream cheese one side of the filleted loin. Top with apple stuffing mixture and lightly dust with some of the dry rub.
- Roll roast close and apply dry rub to the outside until completely covered. Wrap the dry rubbed roast with bacon and tie at 2-in. intervals with kitchen string.
- Place roast on a rack in a shallow baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- To cook roast in the smoker instead of the oven:
- 1. Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. Preheat smoker to 225° to 250°. Load soaked pecan chips into wood tray.
- 3. Place pork in smoker. Cook, with smoker lid closed, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 145°, approximately 2 hours. Remove from smoker, and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
