Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

Prepare 2 filets mignon (pork loin) and split in two lengthways, without completely severing.

Salt and pepper the inside and outside of the pork.

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.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

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.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge.

This technique is called barding where you wrap the meat with fat, larding is pushing the fat through the meat with a needle and is much more tastier
