Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Trim the ends and sides of the pork loin.
- Cut the meat into three equal strips lengthwise.
- Season the strips and weave them together into a braid.
- Wrap the braid with the bacon slices and secure them using toothpicks.
- Drizzle the loin with pineapple juice and let it marinate for one hour.
- Cover the meat with aluminum foil.
- Place in the oven and remove the foil once it begins to cook.
- Bake for a maximum of 1 hour.
- Decorate the platter with the diced pineapple and lettuce leaves before serving.
Observations
This recipe is perfect for special gatherings. The secret lies in the pineapple juice marinade, which tenderizes the meat, while the bacon provides an irresistible smoky finish.
