Ingredients
  • 5 lb pork loin
  • 4 tbsp fennel seed
  • 4 tbsp coriander
  • 2 tbsp freeze dried coffee
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 16 cloves of garlic, sliced into halves, reserve 4 for sauce
  • 1 medium shallot, chopped fine
  • 6 ripe peaches, stone removed, halved
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chardonay wine
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
  • 4 springs fresh thyme, stems removed
Instructions
  1. Make the rub. In a smallbowl mix together the fennel seed, coriander, coffee, salt and red pepper flakes.
  2. Prepare the meat for rotisserie: Insert the rotisserie skewer through the center of the pork. With a knife, pierce 24 tiny holes around the pork. Wedge 24 garlic halves into the meat. Cover the outside of the pork all over with the rub, packing it on thick. Then fasten the outer prongs on the skewer to hold the meat in place. Secure the appliance on the BBQ. Place a shallow baking pan on the grill underneath the meat to catch the drippings. Using the rotisserie mode, cook on 375º with the hood closed, for approximately two hours, or until the meat is crispy on the outside, and a meat thermometer reaches 155º degrees in the center. Once the meat is done, set aside to rest while you make the sauce.
  3. Prepare the sauce: On medium low heat saute garlic and shallots in 1 tbsp evoo til golden brown. Add white wine and chicken broth. Add the pan drippings and reduce for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the peaches: In a small pan melt the butter and mix in the brown sugar. Set aside. Brush the grates of a hot grill with an oiled paper towel. Place the peach halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 2 minutes and turn. Then spoon the melted butter over the peaches. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until you see deep grill markings, then remove.
  5. Slice the meat and serve on an oval platter and garnish with the grilled peaches all around and the sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
