Preparation

What You Need

1 boneless pork loin roast, about 2.2 lb (1 kg)

1 tbsp (15 ml) cider vinegar

1 tbsp (15 ml) honey

2 tbsp (30 ml) Dijon mustard

1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh thyme, chopped

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

12–15 fresh thin asparagus spears

1 leek, (white part only) cut into strips

4 oz (120 g) Canadian Swiss, cut into sticks

Instructions

Butterfly the pork loin roast to make it less thick: cut it almost in half, but leave a hinge intact, like the spine of a book.

Blend vinegar, honey, mustard and thyme, and season generously. Brush onto pork inside and out. Let rest.

Blanch asparagus spears and leek. Place inside pork along with cheese, leaving ½˝ (1 cm) unstuffed at the ends.

Close up roast and fasten with toothpicks all around the opening, particularly at the ends, to keep cheese from escaping during cooking.

Preheat grill to medium and sear the roast on all sides.

Place roast on one side of the grill surface and turn off the burner on that side. Leave the burner(s) for the other half turned on so roast is cooked by indirect heat, for approximately 45 minutes at a grilling temperature of roughly 375oF (180oC). Turn the roast over a few times while it cooks.

Remove roast from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Delicious with a simple pasta salad.

Tips

Cheese alternatives: Canadian Medium Cheddar, Provolone

Replace the cidar vinager with balsamic vinager instead.
