Uruguayan Grilled Stuffed Rolled Pork Pamplona De Puerco Recipes

GRILLED STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Butterfly the pork: Slice almost in half lengthwise, stopping about 1/2 inch from cutting through; open like a book and flatten with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick with the flat side of a meat mallet or a heavy skillet.
• Rub the pork with the grated garlic and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the red peppers on top of the pork in a single layer, then the basil and mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Roll up from the opposite long side into a tight log and tie with kitchen twine in three or four places. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork, covered and turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the filling) registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves from the stems and tear into pieces. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kale, smashed garlic and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Roughly chop the giardiniera and stir into the kale until heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Divide among plates and serve with the pork.

STUFFED AND ROLLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove the flap of meat at the wider end of the tenderloin and trim the last two inches off of the narrow end of the tenderloin; chop trimmings and reserve.
• Cut from one side of the tenderloin through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Cut a few shallow slashes in the meat. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2-inch thick. Roll up pounded tenderloin, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to keep cold.
• Mix chopped pork trimmings, parsley, bread crumbs, currants, garlic, rosemary, egg, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with a fork until stuffing is well-combined.
• Unroll tenderloin on work surface. Spread stuffing over tenderloin, leaving a 2-inch border on one of the long-sides. Roll up tenderloin, ending at the 2-inch border; tie meat with twine to secure shape. Season tenderloin all over with salt and black pepper.
• Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat until hot. Cook tenderloin in hot skillet until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 15 minutes before removing twine and slicing.

URUGUAYAN GRILLED STUFFED, ROLLED PORK / PAMPLONA DE PUERCO

Steps:

• 1. Trim the tenderloins of any excess fat and sinew, then cut each crosswise in half. Butterfly each piece according to the directions for 1/4-inch-thick. You will have four 7-inch squares. Season with salt and pepper.2. Stem and seed the pepper and cut it lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips. Cut each slice of cheese into 1/4-inch strips. Arrange 4 to 5 strips each of pepper and cheese lengthwise across each piece of pork, alternating pepper and cheese and leaving a 1/2-inch border on each side. Roll up the first piece of the pork to enclose the filling and form a compact cylinder. Tie the roll in several places with butcher's string or pin it shut with small metal skewers. Assemble the other pamplonas the same way (see Note).3. Preheat the grill to medium-high.4. When ready to cook, brush the pamplonas lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until the pork is browned on all sides and is cooked through, 16 to 20 minutes in all. When tested with an instant-read meat thermometer, the internal temperature should register at least 160°F.5. Transfer the pamplonas to a platter and remove the butcher's string or skewers. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Traditionally the roll would be served whole on a plate, but I like to cut it crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, fanning the slices out on the plate to create a pinwheel effect.Serves 6 as an appetizer, 4 as an entréeNote: The pamplonas may be prepared to this point up to 6 hours ahead of time. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate if planning to wait more than 30 minutes.
