Description

Orange pork loin is a classic of Italian cuisine, perfect for a Sunday lunch or a festive dinner. The meat, tender and juicy, goes perfectly with the scent of citrus fruits and the flavor of the bacon. I prepare it often, especially when I have guests, because it is a dish that always makes a great impression. The preparation takes a little time, but the result is guaranteed. The secret is to use quality oranges and don't skimp on the rosemary. Serve it with a side of baked potatoes or a mixed salad for a complete and satisfying meal. A true triumph of flavors!

Ingredients (7 ingredients)

1 kg pork loin
4 piece oranges
150 g bacon in slices
2 rametti rosemary
olive oil
pepper
fine salt

Preparation (11 steps)

Initial preparation of the meat

Take the pork loin and make cuts about 2 cm apart, deep up to half of the piece of meat. This operation must be done manually, on a cutting board, to prepare the meat to receive the other ingredients.

Season the pork loin

Season the pork loin with fine salt and black pepper on all sides, making sure to flavor the inside of the cuts as well. This phase is essential to give flavor to the meat.

Preparation of the oranges

Cut 2 oranges into thin slices (about 2-3 mm) and then divide them in half. This operation must be done manually to obtain precise slices.

Stuffing the pork loin

Place a slice of bacon folded in half and two half slices of orange in each cut of the meat. This operation must be done manually, making sure that each cut is well stuffed.

Compacting and tying the pork loin

Compact the pork loin with your hands and tie it well with kitchen string. This operation must be done manually to maintain the shape of the meat during cooking.

Preparation for cooking

Move the pork loin to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and wedge a couple of sprigs of rosemary into the string. This operation must be done manually to prepare the meat for baking in the oven.

Adding oil and baking in the oven

Pour a drizzle of olive oil on the surface. This operation must be done manually. Bake in a ventilated oven at 180°C for 50 minutes. Oven cooking does not take place in the Thermomix.

Squeezing the oranges

Squeeze the juice of the remaining 2 oranges (about 200 ml). This operation must be done manually.

Deglazing with orange juice

Halfway through cooking the meat, deglaze with the orange juice, sprinkling all over the pork loin. This operation must be done manually.
