Rotisserie?
« on: May 05, 2011, 09:19:12 am »
I'd like to use our rotisserie for dinner on Sunday - did chickens last weekend which were awesome, but frankly, I don't have any good ideas beyond that, so throw out some ideas/recipes if ya got em!

Cheers!

Beef rolled roast or any cut you can stuff with vegies or bread stuffing, roll and tie.

Dang it!  Now I'm hungry.

One of our favorites is boston butt pork roast with about 15-20 garlic cloves inserted into the meat.    We used to do boneless pork loins but it's almost impossible to find one now that's not injected with "15% flavor solution".  WTF is that crap and why do you have to put it in my pork?

Occasionally I get a pork roast that looks like a miniature pork-version of a standing rib roast.  The rib bones are fairly short.  I think they call it pork loin rib roast or something like that.  It's really cheap and makes a good pork roast imo.  Or if your splurging for Mother's Day; a standing rib roast.

The roulade/braciole Slowbrew posted sounds really good too.   Mmmmmmm, Giada.

On the assumption that hispanic markets are not rare in New Mexico, they often sell minimally processed pork (and other meat).

I can get non-injected loins and tenderloins at my family owned neighborhood grocery store but I have not seen one in a normal grocery store in a long time. That said they always seem to have loin chops that appear to have come from a non-injected loin. If they are doing butchering in the store, it wouldn't hurt to ask if you can buy the loin from the butcher counter rather than the packaged injected stuff from the case.

I usually rotisserie chicken but I want to try shish kebob. I am thinking about getting some cages or this special attachment.

I love the al pastor but this a vertical setup which would require a much more extensive setup.

Pork loin on the rotisserie.

Stud & rub with fresh garlic and rosemary and olive oil- salt & pepper is all you need. Rotisserie at 350 until 160 interior. Let rest and slice.

Serve with steamed or roasted potatoes and greens.

thanks guys - I hope to stop by my butcher tonight on the way home from work and take a look at these cuts you've mentioned and see what I'll do - I may get something tonight or just price it out and go back.

I have a feeling standing rib roast may be a bit too much this time, but perhaps there's a sale - pork loin might be the winner.

Czech Pils, Bock, Helles, RIS and IPA all on tap - should be a good day!

I haven't tried these recipes (don't have a rotisserie) but Raichlen's recipes are usually awesome.

stopped by my butcher - pork loin roast with bone = $4.99/lb.  Rib roast = $12.99/lb so I went with the pork figuring that since this is only my second usage of the rotisserie, I'd rather minimize my losses if I screw something up.

Think I'm gonna go with what euge said unless I get a crazy hair otherwise. 

Euge - by 'stud' did you mean insert cloves of garlic into the meat?  I've done that often before, just checking as I'm not familiar with that term.

Yes. Insert.

Sounds good already. :D

I remember a Raichlen show for German Spiessbraten, a stuffed pork loin.  It looked awesome.  He said it was traditional to spit it perpendicular to the rotisserie.  I don't see that in this recipe, but I would have bet he said it on the show.
