Pork fillet wrapped in zucchini and bacon

• salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp thyme, dried
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 6 zucchini
• 100 g breakfast bacon
• 1 pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Slice or slice two zucchini lengthwise into very thin strips, sprinkle generously with salt, and let them soak for half an hour. Halve the pork fillet lengthwise, season with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides in vegetable oil. When the zucchini are soft, rinse off the salt and dry the strips thoroughly. Lay the zucchini strips and bacon strips overlapping, alternating them, sprinkle with thyme, and wrap each fillet half in it. Spread the remaining vegetable oil on a baking sheet and place the two pork fillet rolls on top, seam-down. Roast the fillets for fifteen minutes in an oven preheated to 220°C. Cut the remaining zucchini crosswise into finger-thick slices. Pour oil over the slices, add salt, pepper, thyme, and a little cinnamon. Mix everything well and cook for the last ten minutes, spreading them around the pork fillets. Turn over once during cooking. If you like, you can brown the zucchini slices under the grill for a few minutes at the end.
