OOPS wrong adage, but the try, try again really fits. I like to succeed, but I also LOVE to experiment. My dear friend Jenn and hubby both gave yesterday’s Bleu cheese spread for the DANISH CUBE STEAK REVISITED two thumbs up, but I couldn’t stop there – I still had spread left! I also had a fresh pork loin and had just read Martha’s STUFFED FLANK STEAK recipe and voile’ just like Melanie Griffith, er Tess McGill in Working Girl combining Trask and radio to succeed, I had an idea! I combined pork roast, our new favorite Bleu cheese spread and Martha’s flank steak style with superb results – true success!
1 small pork roast, cut in half
1 1/2 ounces Bleu cheese crumbles
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup minced green onions
- In a small food processor blend together the mayonnaise, bleu cheese crumbles and green onions until smooth.
- Cut volcano shaped slice out of the center of each pork half. Next time I will buy a large roast and have it butterflied, but today I worked with what I had.
- Fill with bleu cheese mixture.
- Salt and pepper generously.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour- 1 1/4 hours.
Now nothing goes to waste at our house. We use it until it can be used NO more. If it’s a sauce, it may become a dressing for hubby’s salads by adding flavored vinegars or oils or a filling for a casserole, but it gets used. I had a tiny bit of BBQ sauce left and it is one of our favorites, but it wasn’t enough to do much with, so I used it as a rub on the baked potatoes and then mixed the last couple of tablespoons with some butter and sour cream and darned if it wasn’t super yummy and flavorful too!
Ha, ha, I am the same way, I used up some peach preserves as part of a sweet and spicy sauce for grilled shrimp last night. I think it has to do with my parents upbringing during the Depression. Nice recipe and those potatoes look divine!
