I entered a cook off for the first time and there are 2 classes. Pork loin and an open class that just has to use pork. For the loin I'm stuffing it with an apple, pear, sausage and cranberry stuffing with a raspberry habanero glaze. I did a trial run and it turned out great but I am looking for ideas for the open class. I had thoughts of Armadillo eggs or pork belly burnt ends (one of my specialties). Anything you guys can think of that might wow the judges? I only have 6 hours to prep and cook. It's being held in the town park so there also needs to be samples for the public. Pictures of the loin are attached.

My only criticism that I can see is that it is not evenly rolled evenly from end to end. The stuffing looks delicious.
Good luck to you sir!

Lollipop chicken is always a conversation starter. Good luck with whatever you choose.Comment

Just a suggestion for the loin: Once you got it cut and opened up, you might try covering it with plastic wrap and pounding it to flatten it a bit more and to make it a more even thickness. Not only will the finished product look good, it will also have been a little easier to roll.Comment

Good point you want it as evenly flat as possible and as square or rectangular as possible. Trim as needed.Last edited by mountainsmoker; September 12, 2019, 08:27 AM.

I am doing PB Burnt Ends in a people's choice contest this weekend...To me that is a perfect single bite option for a contest...Not sure how your contest is being judged...Comment
