Bacon-wrapped Pork Fillet
with apricot glaze & goat's cheese salad
As a Chef, you need to expertly balance flavour profiles. Simply start with this recipe, which gives a hands-on lesson in pairing salty & sweet ingredients. The result is in a heavenly harmony of juicy pork fillet, wrapped in salty ham dotted with brown sugar. The balancing trick continues with a buttery apricot jam glaze, which complements the warm mustard notes & lemon juice dressing in the creamy goat’s cheese side salad.

BROWN SUGAR & BACON
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the NOMU rub with the brown sugar. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel and rub with the brown sugar mix. Wrap the bacon around the pork fillet and secure with toothpicks.
BUTTER & JAM GLAZE
Place the saucepan over medium heat with a knob of butter and the apricot jam. Heat this mixture until the butter melts. Stir continuously to combine the apricot jam and butter fully, emulsify, and create a glaze, 1-2 minutes. Once combined, remove from the heat and set aside.
PERFECT Pork
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the bacon-wrapped Pork until browned, 2-3 minutes on all sides, starting with the side where the ends of the bacon meet to seal the bacon around the pork fillet. Remove from the pan and brush with ¾ of the apricot glaze. Air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven, drizzle over the remaining glaze, and rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing and seasoning. Alternatively, roast the pork fillet in the oven at 200°C for 8-10 minutes.
MMMUSTARD DRESSING
In a bowl, combine the mustard, lemon juice, and sweetener (to taste) with a drizzle of olive oil. Mix until everything is emulsified, then toss the salad leaves in the dressing until well coated.
WHAT A FEAST
Plate up the salad leaves, top with the Cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes and goat's cheese. Sprinkle with the almond flakes and place the pork fillet alongside the salad. Excellent work, Chef!
