HONEY-MUSTARD PORK ROAST WITH BACON

Steps:

• For the pork: Put an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, add the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, garlic, and rosemary and mix together until smooth. Arrange the pork in a 9 by 13-inch baking pan and spread the mustard mixture evenly over the pork. Starting on 1 side, lay a piece of bacon, lengthwise, on the pork. Lay another slice of bacon on the pork making sure to slightly overlap the first piece. Continue with the remaining bacon, until the pork is fully covered in bacon. Using 3 pieces of kitchen twine, secure the bacon in place. Roast for 1 hour. Cover the pan, loosely, with foil and roast for another 10 to 20 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 160 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the roast to a cutting board. Cover the pan with foil and allow the pork to rest for 20 minutes. Remove the kitchen twine and slice the pork into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• For the salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

• With a knife, poke small but deep holes all throughout the meat
• Insert sliced garlic pieces into these holes.
• Season meat with salt and pepper.
• Wrap bacon slices all around the meat, making sure that no part of the loin is exposed. Bacon slices should be wrapped closely together. For two pieces of roast, it should take about a pack of bacon.
• Finely chop fresh thyme and sprinkle over meat.
• Sprinkle savory over roast.
• Take a large pan and pour in oil and wine, mixing them together.
• Place roast in pan and cover with aluminum foil (do not poke holes).
• Bake the covered roast for 2 1/2 hours, occasionally lifting cover to check liquid levels. Add water to pan as wine and oil diminishes.
• After 2 1/2 hours, remove aluminum foil from pan and continue to cook roast for an additional 30 minutes. This will cause the bacon to become crispy. Add a little wine or water during the last 30 minutes. The end result will be a crunchy outside, with a tender, juicy inside.
• Slice and serve with mashed potatoes, using the juices from the pan as a gravy.

ROAST TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To prepare the Roast Turkey: toss the herbs and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until green and smooth. Rub the turkey breast with half of the herbed butter and with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and put in the oven. Let the turkey cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the butter and pan juices. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
• To assemble the sandwich: spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on 1 piece of the bread. Place 1 slice of the cheese and several slices of the turkey breast on unbuttered side of the bread. Peel and slice the avocado, toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, crispy bacon slices, lettuce and another slice of fontina cheese to the top of that. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining piece of bread with the butter and place on unbuttered side out, on top of the bacon.
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute, turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

CHELSEA'S BACON ROAST CHICKEN

Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. If the bacon starts to look too brown during roasting, cover the chicken with a sheet of aluminum foil. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) when the meat is done. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

SMOKER ESSENTIALS: BACON-WRAPPED CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need and electric, gas, or wood-fired smoker. You can also use your outdoor grill as a smoker. A nice wireless temperature probe will make your job a whole lot easier.
• 3. I have three smokers: 2 are electric, and 1 is wood or charcoal fired. If you are in the market to buy a smoker, the two companies that I can totally recommend to you are MasterBuilt, and Traeger https://www.masterbuilt.com https://www.traegergrills.com/shop?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2Kus6aaL3wIVEavsCh29pgZ-EAAYAiAAEgIx_fD_BwE In my opinion, they are the best of the best.
• 4. My beef spice rub consists of: • Kosher salt • Black pepper • Cayenne pepper • Oregano • Chili power • Garlic powder I vary the peppers and chili powder to achieve different levels of heat.
• 5. As with all smoking, times are relative. I might say that it will take six hours for this roast to get to temperature, but yours might be finished in 5 hours, or even 7. When I asked a pit master how long it was going to take for his brisket to cook, he just looked at me, shrugged, and said: It will be ready, when it is ready.
• 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 7. Fire up your smoker, and run the heat between 220f (105c) - 225f (107c).
• 8. Remove the roast from the fridge, and rub with your favorite spice mixture.
• 9. Lay the bacon strips over the top of the roast.
• 10. Sprinkle with a bit more spice rub on top of the bacon.
• 11. Chef's Tip: Let the roast sit on your counter for about an hour. This will help to take the chill off, before placing in the smoker.
• 12. Add a drip tray to your smoker box, and fill with water, and maybe a bit of apple cider vinegar. The tray serves two purposes: 1. It will help to catch the fat, dripping off the cooking chuck roast. 2. It will add a bit of moisture to the smoke box.
• 13. Add the roast, and allow to smoke until the internal temperature reaches 150f (65c), 2 - 3 hours.
• 14. Chef's Note: I am using apple wood chips.
• 15. At this point, the roast will not take any more smoke, so we are going to wrap it. Take a nice thick piece of aluminum foil, lay a piece of parchment paper on top, and then add the roast
• 16. Carefully wrap it up.
• 17. Place back into the smoker (no more smoke needed; just heat), and continue to cook until you reach an internal temp of 195f (90c), about another 2 - 3 hours.
• 18. Allow to rest for 10 - 15 minutes before carving.
• 19. Chef's Note: While it is resting, the internal temperature will increase by about 5 degrees, as the heat from the outside moves inward. This is known as "carryover" cooking.
• 20. PLATE/PRESENT
• 21. Slice against the grain, and serve while still nice and hot. Enjoy.
• 22. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
