Pork fillet in tomato sauce

Finely chop the onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wide saucepan. Briefly fry the onions and crushed garlic, then season generously with Italian herbs and a little Tabasco, and add the tomatoes. Simmer the tomatoes over low heat for about 1.5 – 2 hours, until the tomatoes have reduced by half. Cut the fillet into medallions about 2 cm wide and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Heat the oil in a pan and sear the meat on each side. Wrap the cooked pieces of meat in slices of ham. Pour the sauce into a shallow baking dish and place the meat in it. Thinly slice the mozzarella and spread evenly on top. Bake in the oven at 250°C (top heat) for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is browned. Serve with pasta.
