Weeknight Porchetta Food

WEEKNIGHT ITALIAN PORCHETTA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F
• Place tenderloin on shallow foil-lined pan sprayed with cooking spray; brush with dressing.
• Combine all remaining ingredients except bacon; sprinkle evenly over tenderloin. Wrap bacon, in spiral fashion, around tenderloin, overlapping sides of bacon slices if necessary to evenly cover tenderloin with bacon.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until tenderloin is done (145°F). Remove from oven. Let stand 3 min. before slicing.

WEEKNIGHT PORCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Toss chopped garlic, chopped rosemary, fennel seeds, salt, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; season with pepper.
• Rub garlic mixture all over tenderloin (if you have time to do this in the morning, great; refrigerate pork until dinner). Scatter rosemary sprigs in a large baking dish and set tenderloin on top. Wrap bacon slices around tenderloin, tucking ends underneath so bacon stays put. Nestle halved heads of garlic around tenderloin and drizzle everything with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin registers 145° for medium, 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.
