PANCETTA-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN

Category: Pork I - Tenderloins and Roasts

2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp finely chopped lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 pork tenderloins, about 1 lb each
4 oz thinly sliced pancetta or bacon

Combine the garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and rub this mixture into the pork loins. Wrap with the pancetta and secure with toothpicks or string. Allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Grill over indirect heat until the internal temperature is 140 degrees, turning the tenderloins once during cooking. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 4 to 6.
