Source : Recettes Quebecoises

Ingredients
  • 3 pork tenderloins, (each 12 oz/375 g)
  • 9 slices bacon, halved lengthwise
  • 9 sprigs rosemary, halved crosswise
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
Preparation
  1. Cut each tenderloin into 6 rounds; wrap 1 piece of bacon around side of each. Poke metal skewer through bacon and pork through to other side; remove skewer. Thread rosemary sprig through hole to extend on other side.
  2. Thread 3 tenderloins at right angle to rosemary onto each of 6 metal skewers. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
  3. In small bowl, combine mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper; brush over flat sides of pork. Broil on greased rimmed baking sheet, 8 inches (20 cm) from heat, turning once, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to platter; pour pan juices over top.
