Again from Steve Raichlen's How To Grill. The whole
family loved this one. The tapenade is fantastic on bread too. The
cooking process tones it and mellows it quite a bit. What a
great recipe. The tapenade is made of 2 - 12 oz cans of pitted black
olives, 2 chopped garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of capers, a teaspoon of dried
oregano, and a tablespoon of dijon mustard. Process to a paste in food
processor then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and black pepper to taste.
Process until thoroughly mixed. Don't add salt, the olives have
plenty.

The pork line trimmed and then spiral cut so it makes one rectangular flat
sheet. It's a little tricky and this being my first attempt, it didn't
come out too bad.

The meat is then covered with the tapenade ...

... rolled up and tied with bacon on the outside to replace the fat that was
trimmed off.

Tossed on the Kamado and cooked indirectly at about 450 dome temp. This
picture was taken about half way through. Total cook time was about 1 hour
and 15 minutes.

All done at 160 internal temp.

Served with a little fruit and Catalan tomato
bread. The chunks of apple
gave it a nice little smoke ring.
