This pork Saltimbocca recipe with bacon was one of our recent favourite team lunches! It’d be perfect as a Sunday Roast pork to switch it up from your classic roast pork recipe. A Saltimbocca is normally made with parma ham, but this bacon Saltimbocca is bacon wrapped because it just gives it that extra flavour and wow factor. We used our Double Smoked British Streaky Bacon which is smoked over beech and oak wood for extra oomph. We love a bacon wrapped pork recipe and this might be our favourite one yet. Give this Saltimbocca with bacon recipe a try for your next Sunday Roast centrepiece recipe idea, and serve it up with this bacon risotto recipe like Rosie and Ben did for team lunch!
To make this pork Saltimbocca recipe with bacon, start by either cutting your pork tenderloin into pork medallions, or, if you’re making this as a sausage meat recipe, then squeeze the sausage meat out of our sausages.
If you’re using pork for this roast pork recipe, then make sure to season it now, but if you’re using our British sausages for the sausage meat then you can leave it as it’s already seasoned with sage and black pepper!
Next up, lay the slices of our Double Smoked British Streaky Bacon on top of the pork tenderloin or the British sausage meat shaped into patties. You can either wrap our British bacon completely round this bacon Saltimbocca recipe, or you can fold it on top so it doubles up on itself for a super crispy finish to the Saltimbocca recipe with bacon! Top with a sage leaf tucked into the bacon, or use a cocktail stick to make sure it’s attached.
Take your white wine and pour it into a saucepan on a low heat. This will cook off the alcohol.
In a large frying pan, add olive oil or butter, raise the heat and add the pork. You want to put the saltimbocca with bacon in bacon side down first for crispiness. Flip over after the first 2 mins then repeat on the other side.
Reduce the heat and add in the alcohol, letting it slowly reduce for a minute. Make sure the alcohol is cooked off, then remove the pork saltimbocca from the pan and there you have it, a delicious Sunday Roast recipe idea that you might not have thought of!
