Recipe for stuffed tenderloin with bacon

Stuffed pork tenderloin is a real classic in Danish cuisine, without it becoming too traditional in the gravy-and-potatoes way. It is a wonderful guest dish that pleases and tastes all generations, and the dish can be easily varied with different fillings, cheeses and spices, depending on the season and mood. This recipe is stuffed pork tenderloin with a filling of sun-dried tomatoes and feta, with a tenderloin wrapped in bacon and fried with small potatoes. It is an incredibly delicious flavor combination, which gives lots of juice and crunch to the tender pork. 

TIP: Also try tenderloin in this recipe at tenderloin casserole, a good one sandwiches with smoked tenderloin or veal tenderloin with blackberry sauce.

Tenderloin with sun-dried tomatoes

For the filling, finely chop sun-dried tomatoes and mix them with feta cheese, basil and garlic. This gives a filling that is bursting with flavor, oozing with sun and summer, even if the dish is served on a gray day. Alternatively, you can choose to replace feta cheese with cream cheese. It gives a different but also incredibly delicious flavor. You can also try replacing basil with spices such as parsley or oregano. And you can even omit sun-dried tomatoes and use ingredients such as roasted mushrooms, olives or similar as an alternative. It really is just about being creative and being inspired by the season's most delicious ingredients.   

Stuffed pork tenderloin in the oven

In this recipe, the stuffed tenderloin is cooked in the oven. This way, you don't have to swing the frying pan, and you can also cook the potatoes at the same time. It's smart to cook the entire dish in one dish, especially when guests are knocking on the door. As soon as the dish is in the oven, all you have to do is concentrate on making the salad and maybe a dip, and then you have a feast ready to serve. 

TIP: You can also make the potatoes as hasselback potatoes and roast them in the same dish as the tenderloin.

Accessories for tenderloin

As an accompaniment to stuffed tenderloin, it is recommended to serve a green salad. It's a nice counterpoint to the slightly heavier serving, especially if the salad contains something fresh and tart. It could be, for example, a green salad with apple or one fennel salad with arugula. You don't need a sauce for this stuffed tenderloin recipe because the filling itself works a bit like that. If you like to serve a little extra dipping sauce with the potatoes, you can choose to make a side dish such as a aioli, spiced butter and red pesto.
