Al Capone Roast Italian-Stuffed Pork Loin
Rumor has it that this classic stuffed Wisconsin pork roast recipe was Al Capone's favorite dish when he was hiding out in the Northwoods. Like any notorious gangster, Al Capone loved good food. And stuffed with cheese, sausage, olives and prosciutto...what's not to love?
You can typically find a Capone roast at any butcher shop in Wisconsin, but making one at home is a fun cooking project worthy of the time and effort. In this recipe, we used boneless pork loin, but you can also find recipes using boneless pork shoulder, flank steak or a combination of both.
