Best Recipe for Pancetta-Wrapped Pork with Breadcrumb Filling and Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 10 ounces boneless pork loin, cut into 1/4-inch-thick cutlets
- 16 thin pancetta slices
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1 1-pint basket cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
Instructions
- Pound cutlets between sheets of waxed paper to 1/8-inch thickness. Overlap 2 pancetta slices on work surface to form oval of same size as pork. Place 1 pork cutlet atop pancetta. Repeat with remaining pancetta and pork. Mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley and garlic in small bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture among cutlets. Fold in short ends and roll up pork and pancetta, enclosing filling completely. Use toothpicks to secure rolls.
- Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rolls and cook until pancetta is crisp, turning frequently, about 2 minutes. Transfer rolls to plate. Remove toothpicks. Add onion and fennel seeds to drippings in skillet; sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté 5 minutes. Add wine and simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return rolls to skillet. Cover skillet and cook over low heat until pork is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
