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.

Clarified butter

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.

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
