GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED FIGS WRAPPED IN BACON



Goat Cheese-Stuffed Figs Wrapped in Bacon image

This is another of the recipes that disappeared so quickly that I didn't get to take a photo of them....they are that good!! They have a little bit of sweet from the fig, some tang from the cheese, and salt from the bacon. A great balance of flavors! The aged goat cheese called for in this recipe is firmer than fresh and has a dry rind. Two of the kinds that work best in this dish are Bucheron and Pouligny-St. Pierre, both have just the right amount of tang.

8 slices bacon

  • Stir together brown sugar, cumin, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Rub the mixture onto 1 side of each bacon slice, and cut each bacon slice in half to have 16 slices of bacon.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC AND FIG



Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic and Fig image

Adding fig preserves and balsamic vinegar to bacon-wrapped pork gives you the perfect sweet-salty combo of flavors that is impressive enough to serve guests. Best of all, it's ready in about 20 minutes. Be sure to use a tenderloin and not a loin - they are not the same size-wise and require very different cook times. I love to serve this with roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. Do not use thick-cut bacon, as it will not cook thoroughly.

Provided by France C

Categories     Pork Tenderloin

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds pork tenderloin
8 slices center-cut bacon
¼ cup fig preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin and let sit at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
  • On a clean work surface, lay bacon slices side by side, overlapping them slightly. Brush fig preserves on one side of the bacon. Place pork tenderloin on bottom end of the bacon slices and roll up so that tenderloin is wrapped in bacon. Place tenderloin, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and remove pork tenderloin from oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Brush balsamic glaze all over the pork and return to the oven to broil until pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving
