INGREDIENTS

For the shortcrust pastry:

210g (1 3/4 cups) All-purpose flour

A pinch of salt

110g butter

60ml (1/4 cup) water

For the meat:

550g pork fillet

Pepper

Salt

Extra virgin olive oil

1 clove of garlic

2 sprigs rosemary

40g Dijon mustard

70g bacon

For brushing:

1 egg (for egg wash)

METHOD

1. In a food processor, add the flour, salt, and butter, and mix until a sandy mixture forms. Transfer to a bowl, then add the water.

2. Knead the mixture with your hands to obtain a compact dough. Wrap in cling film and transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes.

3. Place the pork fillet on a cutting board and tie it with string. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. In a pan, add the extra virgin olive oil and rosemary, then heat the oil. Place the pork fillet in the pan and brown it well on all sides. Remove from heat and let it cool.

5. Cut the string off the fillet and brush the surface with mustard to flavor it.

6. After the dough has chilled, transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out. Place the bacon slices, overlapping them slightly.

7. Place the fillet in the center of the rolled-out pastry and lift the bacon slices to completely cover the fillet.

8. Fold the pastry around the entire fillet and seal the edges well. Transfer the wrapped fillet to a baking tray and brush the surface with the egg wash.

9. Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry and place the tray in the oven. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 35 minutes.

10. Serve the pork fillet in crust on a serving dish, slice, and enjoy.
