Pork Stuffed with Isernio's Sausage
Stuffing
pork roast with pork sausage is a pairing made in heaven. The boneless
pork butt is particularly good for this preparation due to its
juiciness and flavor. If a leaner roast is desired, however, pork loin
can be used. If you prefer fresh leg of pork, the stuffing nicely
enhances that cut, too. This filling can also be used to stuff large
pre-cooked pasta shells that can then be topped with your favorite red
sauce, dusted with grated cheese and baked until cooked through. If
you wish to use thick-cut pork chops, simply cut a pocket into the
chops, rub the paste into it and then stuff with sausage. The same
method works beautifully with boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Method |
Make
a paste with the minced garlic, fennel, salt and pepper
using a mortar and pestle. If the roast is rolled and tied,
unroll it. Spread 3/4 of the paste over the meat. Stuff the
cavity with the sausage, then roll and tie the roast with
string. Make a few incisions about 1/2" deep in the roast
and stuff some of the paste into them. Rub any remaining
paste over the outside of the meat. Rub a little olive oil
over the meat, salt and pepper outside well then place in a
roasting pan. |
Roast,
uncovered, in a preheated 350° oven for about 2 hours or
until temperature registers 150° on a meat thermometer.
Baste the roast 2 or 3 times with the pan juices. |
Remove
from oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut into 1/2" slices
and serve. Serves 4 to 6. |
