Ingredients:

  • 1 pork fillet
  • 6 thinly sliced Prosciutto or Parma

Ingredients for the Vinaigrette:

  • 1 small clove of garlic, chopped
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 T white wine vinegar
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 t honey

  • 10g basil leaves, picked and torn

Method:

  • Cover a chopping board with a single loose layer of plastic wrap.
  • Then start layering the plastic wrap vertically towards you with the parma ham. Make sure the parma ham is overlapping to have a solid mesh to roll the fillet in.
  • Place the pork fillet at the bottom of the layered parma ham.
  • Lift the bottom edge of the plastic wrap and start rolling the parma ham over the pork. When the parma reaches the other side, pull away the plastic from the parma ham and complete the rolling process.
  • You should now have a beautiful pork fillet wrapped in parma ham.

  • Lower the heat and cook until the tomatoes begin to caramelise and soften. Allow for the tomatoes to cool.
  • Preheat a clean frying pan for the pork. 
  • Grill wrapped pork, making sure only to turn the meat once the parma ham is nice and crispy, keep on repeating the process. 
  • Transfer pan to oven and cook pork for 6 minutes, allow the meat to rest for 2 minutes.
