Did you ever plan a romantic maple-glazed stuffed pork roast and then discover, you did not buy what you thought you did?
I found a great recipe from Kraft Foods Magazine (which readers must now pay for when this magazine used to be free), Maple-glazed stuffed roast pork.
I had purchased what I THOUGHT to be a pork roast, however, it turned out to be two small pork loins netted together.
My husband created an ingenious solution.
He suggested placing the stuffing in between the two loins, tieing the two loins together with butcher’s twine, and cooked it on the Big Green Egg for about 90 minutes or so…it was awesome!
Served with my cooked apple recipe, this turned out to be a romantic dinner after all.
