Ingredients




1 pork tenderloin (600 g)
4 tbs Dijon mustard
100 g pancetta, thinly sliced into 12-14 slices
2 tbs olive oil
4 tbs pepper and fig pesto (or red pesto of your choice), 3 + 1
400 g fresh puff pastry
Fresh oregano leaves (or herb of your choice, fresh or dried)

Preparation

1 Remove all visible fat from the tenderloin and coat all sides with Dijon mustard. 2 Tightly wrap in pancetta slices, tie with a string if necessary. Place on a baking sheet coated with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes at 200°C. 3 When done, cool down and remove pancetta slices. 4 In a food processor mix and combine crisp pancetta slices with 3 tablespoons of the pesto. Set aside. 5 Sprinkle fresh oregano leaves over puff pastry cut into rectangle slightly larger than the length of the tenderloin. Place the cooled tenderloin along the longer edge of the dough. 6 Roll the tenderloin and puff pastry sheet into a roll. With little water crimp the edges together to seal. Cut the remaining pastry into strips and decorate the roll, if you wish. 7 Use the remaining pesto to mix with little olive oil, if necessary, and brush the pastry roll. Bake in oven for 20 minutes at 200°C. 8 Before serving, leave to stand for 10 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve with a pancetta and pest spread.
