(Gluten Free) Pork Tenderloin Wrapped in Bacon

A relatively simple main dish that is both tasty and elegant in its appearance

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb  pork tenderloin
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  ground thyme
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  ground caraway
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground fennel
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1  tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 6  slices  gluten-free bacon (thin slices)

Directions

1. Carefully slice off and remove the 'silverskin' (white coating) from the tenderloin; leaving any visible fat in place.
2. Mix together the mustard and spices to a smooth paste. Evenly spread the spice mixture around the tenderloin.
3. Fold under the small end of the tenderloin so it doesn't overcook.
4. Wrap the bacon as tight as you can around the tenderloin, with a slight overlap; trying to have your starts and finishes on the underside.
5. Secure the bacon by piercing with a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet; toothpick side down.
6. With a pepper mill grind a lot of pepper over the top.
7. Bake @ 425F for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145°F.
8. Let rest a couple of minutes. Slice into serving sizes about 1 inch thick.
