Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, crushed

4 sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped

4 green pitted olives, drained and roughly chopped

25g Parmesan, grated

2 level tbsp pine nuts

2 courgettes

2 red onions

2 medium carrots

1 Butcher's Selection Pork Fillet (weighing approx 500g)

6 rashers Asda Extra Special Streaky Bacon

New potatoes, boiled, to serve

Gravy, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/ Gas 5. To prepare the stuffing, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the crushed garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped green olives and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Drain the oil off into a roasting tin. Tip the olive and tomato stuffing mixture into a bowl and leave to cool.
2
Add the grated Parmesan and pine nuts to the cooled olive and tomato stuffing mixture. Season the stuffing with freshly ground black pepper - you won't need to add any salt.
3
Cut the courgettes, red onions and carrots into small, even-sized pieces. Put into the roasting tin containing the frying oil, and toss to completely coat the vegetable pieces. Set aside.
4
Trim off any fat and sinew from the pork. Make a cut all along the fillet, about three quarters of the way through, being careful not to cut right through. Open out like a book. Put the stuffing on one half, spreading it evenly. Then fold over the other side.
5
Place a rasher of bacon on a chopping board and run the back of a knife along it to stretch it and make it a little thinner. Repeat with the other rashers.
6
Wrap the bacon round the pork fillet, making sure the ends of all the rashers are tucked underneath. Put in another roasting tin and cook for 45-50 minutes. Roast the tin of vegetables at the same time.
7
Remove the pork from the oven, loosely cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roast vegetables, boiled new potatoes and gravy.
