Pork Loin

Even though we are in Lock Down, we had a Pork Loin in the refrigerator that I rotisseried. It was excellent. We started with an Asparagus Salad with Brown Butter, Hazelnuts and Burrata. It is a great salad, especially in the Spring when we first have Asparagus.

With the Pork Loin we had Japanese Yams. These are amazingly sweet. Even though it is a Yam it tastes like candy!

We coated the pork with Fennel Rub that Mozza2Go sells. It is an excellent choice for pork. The key was cooking by an indirect method, without having the coals directly under the pork, low and slow. We studded the pork with slivered garlic and placed it on the spit. It actually is easier to use a rotisserie then to grill, because you don’t have to watch it as closely. Simply have an estimate of how long the pork should take per pound (about 20 minutes) and occasionally glance at the rotisserie to make sure the coals were still hot adding more if needed. When the allotted time was up we checked the temperature with an instant read meat thermometer, and continued to cook until the pork reached the temperature we were looking for (about 160).
