THE GOURMET GRANDPA

Thank you for your compliments, Elizabeth. Most of the sodium in this recipe comes from the Italian Prosciutto (about 950 mg for 2 slices) and the Parmesan cheese (about 340 mg for 1/4 cup). You can substitute low sodium bacon which allegedly has 100 mg of sodium per slice and I understand that a 4C brand of ground Parmesan is available in stores that has 70 mg of sodium per TBS (roughly 280 mg per 1/4 cup). Although I am uncertain as to how using these low sodium substitutes would affect the taste of the dish, you could reduce the sodium in this recipe by roughly 810 mgs. Please understand that I am not a dietitian or nutritionist and I have reached these conclusions simply by researching different food items online! Ed

As an afterthought, I forgot to mention that I use Diamond Crystal Salt Sense (iodized) in most of my frecipes. It is a real salt; not a salt substitute. However is has 33% less sodium that regular table salt or sea salt and it appears to be available in most popular grocery stores.

Your recipe sounds delicious; it has all the ingredients that I like to use so I will definitely make this soon!

Thank you so much for your kind comments! I really appreciate hearing from people who review the recipies that I post.

Thank you! (I actually heated up a slice in the microwave a short while ago and enjoyed it for lunch).

Good! Thank you.

You've got me on this one! I have never seen a 10 pound boneless pork loin. Several sources that I have checked estimate that it will take 4 to 5 hours to cook a 4 to 5 lb pork loin in a water bath if the temperature is maintained at between 137 and 140 degrees F. You might try contacting the Sous Vide manufacturer for a more accurate answer.

Thank you; I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have!

Thank you!

Great idea; excellent job!

You're right; your version does look better than mine. Probably due to all that cheese and tomato topping. I have been able to achieve the same effect by topping another batch with slices of munster, shredded cheddar, and petite diced tomatoes. lol2.ero
