Pork Tenderloin In Puff Pastry
- 1 pork tenderloin (600 g)
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 100 g pancetta, thinly sliced into 12-14 slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons pesto sauce (pepper and fig or red pesto of your choice, 3+1)
- 400 g fresh puff pastry
- fresh oregano leaves (or herb of your choice, fresh or dried)
- Remove all visible fat from the tenderloin and coat all sides with Dijon mustard.
- 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 200u0b0C.
- When done, cool down and remove pancetta slices.
- In a food processor mix and combine crisp pancetta slices with 3 tablespoons of the pesto. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use the remaining pesto to mix with little olive oil, if necessary, and brush the pastry roll. Bake in oven for 20 minutes at 200u0b0C.
- Before serving, leave to stand for 10 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve with a pancetta and pest spread.
