Ingredients

• 50g butter
• 3 rashers middle bacon, rind removed, finely chopped
• 1/2 small brown onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped unsalted macadamia nuts
• 1 large apple, peeled, finely chopped
• 1 1/4 cups fresh breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
• 1.5kg rolled pork loin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• Apple sauce, to serve

Method

1. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Stir in bacon and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until onion is tender. Stir in macadamias and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden. Remove from heat. Add apple, breadcrumbs, parsley and rosemary. Stir. Preheat barbecue on high with lid closed.
2. Cut string off pork. Unroll and place skin side down on a board. Slice crossways through the thickest park of the meat without piercing through to skin. Lay port out as one large piece. Scoop the stuffing onto the cut side of the loin and press down to secure. Roll the pork again to secure stuffing. Tie in multiple sections with kitchen string to enclose stuffing. Generously rub oil over top of loin. Sprinkle with sale. Transfer to a large, disposable foil baking dish.
3. Place in barbecue with hood down. Cook using indirect heat for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to medium and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes using indirect heat. Make sure juices run clear with skewer is pieced in centre. Remove from barbecue. Let stand for 10 minutes. Carve and serve hot with apple sauce.
