Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin
The loin is the part of pork placed above the fillet, on the sides of the spine, and it is one of the leanest and least expensive cuts, widely used to prepare very tasty main courses of meat.
The recipe that we want to present to you are the bacon-wrapped pork loin, a quick dish to prepare, inexpensive, able to satisfy every palate and very nice to bring to the table. The filling made up of smoked provola and bacon will make the wraps very tasty, while the cooking "cream" will be a pleasure for lovers of the shoe.
A note on the loin: precisely because it is a very lean cut of meat, the risk in the preparation is to end up with stringy rolls, which is why some precautions are necessary during the preparation. Let's see together which ones!

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin: our recipe
We arrange the slices of bacon or pancetta on a shelf and place the slices of loin on them. On the meat we place a thin slice of smoked provolone cheese, then on the provolone we arrange half a slice of raw ham.
Let's proceed with the realization of the rolls taking care to roll the meat in such a way that it contains as much of the filling as possible. To maintain the shape we can use some string or a pair of toothpicks, piercing the ends of the meat.
Place the extra virgin olive oil in a pan and brown in it, over low heat, a clove of garlic appropriately crushed; place the rolls in the pan and continue cooking with a lid on low heat. Let it brown on all sides for a few minutes, taking care to gently turn the meat, avoiding flaking it, making the filling come out.
When browning is complete, blend our delicious rolls with half a glass of vodka. We serve and serve the bacon-wrapped pork loin still hot, perhaps accompanying them with salad or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
