This recipe came from our friend, Michael Curl. Thanks Mike!

What You'll Need:

16 large garlic cloves ’ peeled
6 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound Spanish chorizo, dry ’ fully cooked, peeled, cut into large chunks
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves ’ plus 1 cup chopped
2 tablespoons chipotle chile canned in adobo ’ or more if you like heat
1/4 pound Bellavitano Espresso cheese
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs ’ plain, not flavored
3 tablespoons ground cumin ’ divided
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt ’ plus 2 teaspoons, divided
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper ’ plus 1 1/2 teaspoons, divided
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons light brown sugar ’ packed
6 pounds boneless pork top loin

The Know How:

The Tenderloin

1. Heat garlic cloves and 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once garlic starts to sizzle, reduce heat to low and continue to cook, turning cloves once or twice, until soft and golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place chorizo, 1 cup whole cilantro leaves, chipotles, bread crumbs, and 1 tablespoon cumin in a food processor bowl. Add garlic and its oil and process until ingredients are finely ground; shred cheese into mix and set aside.
3. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons cumin with 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, paprika, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
4. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Lay pork loin on a sheet of plastic wrap, fat side down. Slit pork loin lengthwise down center almost ’ but not quite ’ all the way through to form a long pocket. Brush cavity with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons salt and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
5. Line cavity with sausage mixture. Tie roast crosswise with butcher’s twine at 1 1/2-inch intervals, alternating between one end and the other so stuffing remains even.
6. Brush roast with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle all over with cumin-paprika mixture.
7. Place roast on a wire rack set over a large heavy roasting pan and roast until a meat thermometer stuck into center registers 125 to 130 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Continue to roast until a meat thermometer stuck into center of pork registers 155 to 160 degrees, about 20 minutes longer. Remove rack with pork from pan and make the red eye gravy.
