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.

  • 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
