A pork tenderloin wrapped in pancetta is something a little different for the BBQ - it’s a delicious dish that doesn’t take much time to cook, and even less to prepare. Our recipe also includes a garlic and rosemary rub to give the meat a little something extra. With 200g of meat and your choice of potatoes on the side, this recipe will comfortably serve around 6 people.

Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 100g each
- 110g thinly sliced pancetta
- Rub Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp crushed garlic
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- 01In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients until well mixed and fine consistency.

Wrap the tenderloin with the slices of pancetta and secure the pancetta with the string. (The tenderloins do not need to be completely covered.) Allow to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
