Zampone Time!

[Enrico Brandizzi]

Zampone?
What's Zampone? Outside it looks like the pork leg, but it was emptied and refilled wich ground pork.
In one word: delicious.

I started whith 2.40 lbs zampone from Lenovi.
It was NOT pre cooked.

I wetted the pork skin and applied some Jallelujah seasoned jalapeno salt (delicious).

Settled the 26 OTG for roasting/indirect action round 350F

Put in the Zampone with some cherry smoke. No water because I looked for crunchy skin.

1 hour later it was 150F IT and for me it was ready to slice and eat.

Sliced. It was super moist, tender but not mushy.
Skin was almost crispy but not edible for me.

As always, your cooks are amazing Enrico! The sliced pictures look very tasty, but like you, I'd probably skip the skin for eating. I'm still curious what you use for your indirect offset? It looks like a old water pan out of a 14" or maybe out of a brinkman smoker? Very cool idea for doing indirect

Happy New Year Enrico!

Zampone! Well, that's a new one for me. Makes sense though...just a different package.
