Step by step recipe

Stage 2 - 2 min.
Spread a layer of mustard on each side.
Stage 3 - 1 min.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Stage 4 - 1 min.
Then close up the pork again.
Stage 5 - 7 min.
Wrap the pork completely in the thinly-sliced bacon.
Note: French bacon ("lard" in French) is often sold as whole joints for cutting up at home. However, for this recipe it is best to use ready-siced bacon, or ask your butcher to slice it thinly for you.

Place the larded joint in an ovenproof dish or roasting tin and baste with oil using a brush.
Stage 7 - 1 hour
Roast in the oven for about an hour, watching for colouration.
Stage 8 - 5 min.
When cooked, remove from the oven and cover the joint in its dish with a sheet of aluminium foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Stage 9 - 5 min.
Slice the pork and serve with your choice of accompaniment (here it is romanesco sautéd in butter).
Remarks
For the mustard, I recommend the traditional whole-grain variety.
