I have found, what I think to be, a really great deal at Sam’s Club. We don’t buy that many things there and have found that you really have to watch their prices. Not everything there is a good deal. I do like this one though.
This is the boneless pork loin we get from Sam’s. As you might can see, this one weighs 10 ½ pounds and was only $16.67.
I like to cut it up in to about 3-inch sections, wrap in freezer paper and put in the freezer. Then, whenever we want, we can just pull one out for what ever. We got 7 cut from this one loin. There great for all sorts of things. Sometimes I will slice one up very thin while its still a bit frozen and use for stir fry or pork fried rice. We also love making a little dish called pork italiano.
Pork Italian’o
1 3-inch cut of pork loin
1 package of peperoni slices
1 jar of roasted red peppers
1/2 lb mozzarella or more if you want
1 small onion thinly sliced (optional)
sliced black olives (optional)
while loin is still just a bit on the frozen side, cut into 4, 3-quarter inch slices. let finish thawing and then pound each slice out real thin with a meat hammer. I have a special 2×4 that works really great for this.
I put the slices of loin between some butcher paper before I pound on them. After you have pounded out the meat lay out the slices and proceed with the filling. first place a layer of pepperonis, make sure the whole slice is covered. Next add a modest layer of the roasted red bell peppers. now a layer of thinly sliced mozzarella. I like to cut the slices just a bit shy of 1/4 inch. Some times we add a layer of sliced black olives and sliced onions too.
Now roll up each of these and hold together with tooth picks. oil a glass baking dish with a bit of EVO and place the rolls in the dish. Use a dish that will just fit the rolls if you have one.
Bake in an pre heated oven at 350 F. for about 40 minutes. You will have to be the judge on the time as our oven cooks a bit different than others I have used.
These things are inexpensive and really great. Enjoy!
