BACON WRAPPED PORK LOIN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, sage, fennel, crushed red pepper, 2 tsp. coarse salt and a generous pinch black pepper. Rub the mixture over the pork, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
• Let the pork sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees . Set a rack in a roasting pan and transfer the pork, fat side up, to the rack. Wrap the slices of bacon crosswise around the pork, overlapping slightly.
• Roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees , about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a carving board with a moat and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Season pork loin with salt and pepper. Wrap the bacon slices around the pork loin and secure with toothpicks. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the pork loin. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes, then place onto roasting pan. Stir together honey, balsamic vinegar, red wine, onion, and rosemary in a small bowl; spread over pork loin.
• Roast the pork loin in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then sprinkle with raisins. Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and slicing.
