Roast Pork with Savoury Apple Stuffing BBQ Recipe

This hearty entrée is the perfect remedy for the cold-weather blahs.

For the stuffing:

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons butter
2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup apple juice
3/4 cup soft rye or pumpernickel bread cubes
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed
1 8-rib pork loin centre rib roast, back bone loosened (4 to 5 pounds)
Red apple, cut into wedges (optional)
Celery leaves (optional)

To make the stuffing: In a medium saucepan cook onion and celery in butter until tender. Add apples and apple juice. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer 5 minutes more or until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat. Stir in bread cubes, almonds, salt, and caraway seed.

Place roast, bone side down, on a cutting board. On the meaty side, cut a pocket above each rib, making 8 pockets total. Spoon stuffing into pockets. Place roast with tips of ribs upward in centre of cooking grate. Cover stuffing area loosely with foil. Grill 1 to 2-1/4 hours for medium (or until a meat thermometer inserted into meatiest part of roast registers 160°F/71°C) or 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 hours for well-done (170°F/77°C). Remove foil halfway through grilling time. Cover and let stand 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh apple slices and celery leaves, if desired.

Makes 8 servings.
