Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large ovenproof skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the barbecue seasoning blend over the pork tenderloin. Quickly sear the meat on all sides over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, while meat is searing, start the hash browns by adding the vegetable oil and butter to another large skillet. Add the shredded sweet potatoes, onion and bell pepper blend, and celery leaves in a single layer. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring. Stir in the salt and pepper, to taste, and continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once the tenderloin has been seared, remove to a platter and to the same skillet whisk in the Bloody Mary mix, peach nectar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, hot sauce, cracked black pepper, and chopped peaches; simmer over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat, place the seared pork in skillet and spoon sauce over top. Place the skillet in oven and cook until pork reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove meat from oven and allow to sit for a few minutes before slicing. To plate, arrange sweet potato hash browns and the sliced pork on individual dishes and top with some of the sauce. Garnish with fresh peach slices and a sprinkling of parsley.

CAROLINA-STYLE "WHOLE HOG" BARBECUE PORK
I'm showing you how to do a "whole hog" barbecue without a 6-foot-long barbecue pit, which you probably don't have, and without a whole hog, which you definitely don't have. While you probably could get those things if you really needed to, by using this experimental, mini version, you really don't have to. Serve on buns.

Tips:
- Use a variety of pork cuts: This will give your twirls a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include pork shoulder, pork loin, and pork tenderloin.
- Marinate the pork: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper is a good place to start.
- Cook the pork until it is just done: Overcooked pork will be tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of fillings: This is where you can really get creative. Some popular fillings include cheese, bacon, vegetables, and fruit. You can also use a combination of fillings.
- Be careful not to overfill the twirls: This will make them difficult to roll up and cook evenly.
- Serve the twirls with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Carolina pork twirls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a variety of fillings and dipping sauces to choose from, there is sure to be a Carolina pork twirl that everyone will enjoy.
