Mediterranean pork fillet wrapped in bacon

For the marinade, finely chop the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Mix with tomato paste, olive oil, and red wine, season with pepper, and a little salt. Finely chop the feta. Trim the fillet and then make deep cuts lengthwise. Rub the fillet thoroughly with the marinade inside and out, then add the crumbled feta. Wrap the fillet completely in the bacon slices and let it marinate for a few hours. Sear on a fully heated charcoal grill over direct heat for 8-9 minutes, then transfer to the indirect heat and cook with the lid closed for around 25 minutes, turning 2-3 times. The fillet should have an internal temperature of 68 degrees Celsius. Then remove the fillet from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes under foil, then slice and serve immediately. Serve with potato skewers, vegetable skewers, vegetable parcels, mixed salad, and baguette.
