Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 g of chopped rosemary, thyme and sage instead of thyme, use dried oregano
  • 700 g of pork loin
  • 50 g of slices of bacon
  • 100 g of butter
  • 50 g of olive oil
  • 2 shallots
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 4 juniper berries
  • 200 ml white wine

Instructions

  • Place the pork loin on a cutting board. Score the meat horizontally a little above the center, then cut without going all the way (to open it like a book).
  • Stuff the meat with the filling of chopped herbs, then close it.
  • Wrap the top of the meat with slices of bacon.
  • Lay three pieces of kitchen twine on the cutting board so that they are equidistant from each other.
  • Tie the wrapped roast with twine. Set aside.
  • Remove the skins from the shallots, leaving them whole; set aside.
  • In a high-sided pan, melt butter in oil, then add shallots, bay leaves, and berries.
  • Place the roast in the pot and seal all the sides for 2-3 minutes each.
  • Salt and cook uncovered for a few minutes. Add the wine, cook for five minutes, then cover the pan with a lid.
  • Cook on medium-low heat for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pork loin from the pan, strain the sauce, and reduce it on the stove over a low flame. A little or a lot depends on your taste.
  • Let the roast cool before removing the twine and cutting it into slices of your preferred thickness.
  • Warm the roast in the oven by covering the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  • You can serve the roast at room temperature, even cold in the middle of summer, by pouring hot sauce over the slices.

Food tips

  • You can prepare the roast 2-3 days in advance.
    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days.
    You can also freeze the roast cooked and cut it into slices.
