VIDEO RECIPE
Pork Fillet with Apples - Filetto di maiale con le mele

Wrap 1 slice of pancetta around each tenderloin then tie with kitchen string to secure and cut the excess string

Heat a small non-stick frying pan over a low heat, add a knob of butter and let it melt. Once the butter has melted, place the apple slices into the pan and cook until golden on both sides, add a pinch of salt then carefully turn the slices over
After about 2-3 minutes turn the heat off and gently lay the apple slices in a bowl

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, once hot, add the butter and low the heat to avoid burning the butter, add the mustard, the garlic, the bay leaves, juniper berries and cloves, let it cook for about 1 minute
After 1 minute increase the heat to medium-high and transfer the fillets to the pan, let them brown for about 2-3 minutes per side

Add some ground black pepper, a pinch of salt, pour in the brandy and cook for 2-3 minutes more per side

Arrange the apple slices onto a serving dish, discard the string around the fillets, lay them on the apple slices, garnish with bay leaves, drizzle with the cooking liquid and serve
