In my frugal/cheap cooking, I try to have basic ingredients that I know how to use. I buy in bulk so typically have a lot of things made from the same things, and am always looking for something different to do with my regular ingredients.

In this case, pork loin. We buy the big "baseball bats of meat" and cut them down into typically about 3 pound portions. I know a lot of things to do with pork loin! The other day my PBS Creates channel was on and I watched and then made this recipe from Kimball's Milk Street:

Sorry, you have to create an account/sign in to actually get the recipe.

Basically you butterfly a pork loin and make a chimichurri sauce, spread it over the pork loin and and roll it all back up with (peeled of course) hard boiled eggs. A chimichurri is much like a pesto, but using parsley and cilantro.

Butterflying isn't that big a deal, I often will "open" the loin a bit to season the meat which starts the same. Anyway, I did the first cut correctly but then the second cut was my "open" at the wrong angle and so my spiral didn't go around as much as it should. We liked the addition of the eggs, but we like Scotch Eggs too (sausage wrapped hard boiled eggs, being keto we skip the breadcrumbs but can use other things).
