How to Make Bacon Wrapped Cinnamon Pork Loin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup pine nuts and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (3-4 minutes).
  3. Transfer the pine nut mixture to a bowl and let cool.
  4. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
  5. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of a 1.5-2 lb pork loin.
  6. Tightly roll the pork loin into a cylinder. Secure with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals to maintain its shape.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground white pepper.
  8. Wrap the pork loin completely with 8-10 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
  9. Place the bacon-wrapped pork loin on a roasting rack set inside a medium roasting pan. Roast for 50-65 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 150°F (66°C).
  10. Remove from oven and let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Slice the pork loin into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve immediately. Enjoy!
