Ingredients

  • 1 x 2 bone Pork Loin ‘Tomapork’ Chop
  • 100g Chestnut Mushrooms
  • ½ a leek (white part only)
  • 50g Smoked Streaky Bacon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Method

Method

1

Finely chop the mushrooms, leek and bacon and fry until cooked through and most of the moisture has evaporated.

2

Add the salt, pepper and fennel seeds, mix through. Leave mixture to chill.

3

Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in the pork loin chop from the bone side (between the bones), be careful not to go through or make holes.

4

Push the chilled filling into the pocket in the pork chop and using some butchers twine tie the bones together, wrapping around the bottom ends of the bones to seal the pocket. Score the fat in a crisscross pattern.

5

Sprinkle the outside of the meat on all sides, with JW Chicken Rub, or a rub of your choice.

6

Cook over indirect heat (Coals to one side) at 225F until the pork internal temperature measures 60C (ensure you probe the pork meat, not the filling).

  • Total Time3 hr 10 min
  • Yield4 Servings

Ingredients

For the Pork Souvlaki

  • 1kg pork shoulder, trimmed of all excess fat and sinew, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 4 large green chillies

For the Marinade

  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 Tbs red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt

To Serve

  • Flatbreads
  • Tzatziki
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, finely sliced
  • 2 red onions, finely sliced chips (optional)

Method

Preparing the Pork Souvlaki

1

Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the pork and toss to coat. Cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 2–3 hours or overnight.

2

Remove the pork from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and preheat the barbecue for direct grilling.

3

Thread the pork onto skewers and grill for 10–12 minutes until cooked through, turning regularly.

4

Grill the chillies alongside the pork until softened and lightly blistered, turning regularly too.

5

Remove the pork and chillies from the grill, leaving the pork to rest for 5 minutes.

6

To serve, spread a Flatbread with Tzatziki, pile the pork on top and add a grilled chilli, sliced tomatoes, red onion and chips, if you like. Wrap tightly and serve.

VARIATION: This also works well with chicken – substitute the pork with the same quantity of skinless thigh fillets.
