Tired of the chicken and lamb roast then try another delicious meat alternative – pork.
Ingredients
approx 1kg pork roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and ground pepper
About 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
1 cup chicken broth
How to
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small food processor, combine olive oil, fennel seeds, rosemary, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse together until chopped.
Rub half the mixture on the pork roast. Then, lay slices of bacon, slightly overlapping over roast. Tuck bacon ends under roast and secures with a toothpick on the sides.
Rub remaining herb mixture over pork slices.
Place in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes.
