Bought a whole loin the other day , because the price was good . Cut it into 4 sections about 3 lbs. each . Put one in Pop's brine with maple extract .
Two sections to be determind , and used one for a " Philly style " pork sandwich .
Made an injection of unsalted Veg stock , Minor's garlic base and stick butter .
Injected and tied to even out the shape .

Put the lid on and let it spin . Came back in an hour or so for a peak .
Getting there . Had some apple chunks just touching the coals .

When it's cool enough to handle , I pull the spit and slice it up .

stick butter and some Thyme . In a pot on the stove top .

Add the slices and put the lid on . Set the burner as low as it will go .
No boil , just enough heat to break down the slices .

In another pot , saute some spinach and garlic in butter . This pot was full , but it cooks down .

After several hours in the pot , the pork falls apart .

Use some crusty bread . Provolone cheese on the bottom of the bread .
Keeps it from getting soggy . You could also use Mayo or anything you like that's oil based .
Add some pork .

Then some spinach .

Spoon on some of the Jus , the roll up in foil as tight as you can get it .

In to a low oven for 15 minutes or so .
Slice across before you unwrap . This helps to keep the shape and stay together .

This came out pretty good . The pork is extremely tender and full of flavor from
the Jus . The bread is soft and soaked with the juice , but didn't fall apart .
I can't ever find broccoli rabe , so I use the spinach . It adds to it , but could be
left out .
Thanks for lookin
