Then place the pork in a roasting pan and bake until a thermometer inserted into the middle reads 160 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Take the meat out and let it rest 10 minutes.

ROAST PORK LOIN RECIPE, PORCHETTA-STYLE WITH LEMONY WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a cutting board, combine the garlic, orange zest, fennel seeds, and 1 tablespoon of the rosemary. Run your knife repeatedly through the mix until it begins to take on a paste-like consistency. Scoop it up into a bowl and add the olive oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper, then rub it all over with the paste. At this point, you can cook it immediately or marinate the loin for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor. Lay the pork in a roasting pan and roast for 25 to 30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the loin), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle reads 150° to 155°F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. While the pork rests, combine the beans, lemon juice, and the remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon of rosemary in a saucepan and cook until warm all the way through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve slices of the pork over the beans.

YANKEE PORCHETTA: "PORK AND BEANS"

Steps:

• Step 1: Butterfly the pork loin: Using a very sharp knife, cut the roast almost in half lengthwise through one side, stopping about 1/2 inch from the opposite side. Open the roast up as you would a book. ShareTweetPin137 Shares Step 2: Spread the inside of the pork loin with mustard, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Distribute the baked beans on top and drizzle with bourbon. Carefully fold the roast back together (like closing a book). ShareTweetPin137 Shares Step 3: Cut four 12-inch pieces of butcher's string. Position the pieces of string on the work surface so that they are parallel and roughly 2 inches apart. Place 2 slices of bacon across the strings so that they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to and in the center of the strings. Set the roast on top of the bacon, positioning its long side parallel to the bacon. Place 2 slices of bacon on top of the roast. Press the remaining 2 slices against the long sides of the roast. Tie each piece of string together around the roast so that they hold the slices of bacon against it. (When you finish, the roast will be encased in bacon).

If using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center, preheat the grill to medium, then add the wood chips or chunks to the coals. If using a gas grill, place all of the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium. ShareTweetPin137 Shares Step 6: When ready to cook, place the pork roast on the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat and cover the grill. Cook the roast until cooked through, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. (If you are using a charcoal grill, replenish the coals as needed.) The last 15 minutes, start basting the roast with Smoke Wrangler's Barbecue Sauce, if using. Baste once or twice more. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the side of the roast. The internal temperature should be 145 to 155 degrees.

Slice the roast crosswise with a serrated or an electric knife. Serve the remaining barbecue sauce and additional baked beans on the side. ShareTweetPin137 Shares
