AMERICAN CUISINE

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are going to the great state of

South Carolina

Lowcountry cuisine is the cooking traditionally associated with the South Carolina Lowcountry and the Georgia coast. While it shares features with Southern cooking, its geography, economics, demographics, and culture pushed its culinary identity in a different direction from regions above the Fall Line. With its rich diversity of seafood from the coastal estuaries, its concentration of wealth in Charleston and Savannah, and a vibrant African cuisine influence, Lowcountry cooking has strong parallels with New Orleans and Cajun cuisine.

Carolina Pork Swirl

Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon

1 (1 1/2 pound) fat-trimmed pork tenderloin

1 1/2 cups mustard-based barbeque saucesalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.

While the grill is heating, slice the pork tenderloin into flat strips similar to the bacon. Roll up strips of bacon inside strips of pork tenderloin and secure with moistened toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper.

Grill the rolls for about 10 minutes on one side, then turn over. Slather some barbeque sauce over them and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

And as always have a chilled day from the viking.
