Ingredients

For the Pork Loin

• 1 pork loin
• Bacon slices, for wrapping
• Alexandra’s Pikliz® Relish, for serving

For the Dry Rub

• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• ½ tbsp black pepper
• ½ tbsp garlic powder
• ½ tbsp onion powder
• ½ tbsp dried thyme or oregano

For the Pineapple Panko Crumbs

• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup pineapple cubes
• ½ cup diced onion
• ½ cup chopped bacon
• 3 tbsp butter
• ½ cup chopped parsley
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Rub

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme or oregano.

Season the Pork

Brush the pork loin generously with Dijon mustard. Sprinkle the dry rub evenly over the entire surface of the pork, pressing gently to adhere.

Wrap with Bacon

Wrap the pork loin tightly with bacon slices, overlapping slightly. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine if needed.

Roast

Place the wrapped pork loin on a roasting pan and roast at 350°F for 30–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make the Pineapple Panko Crumbs

Sauté the Pineapple

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pineapple cubes and cook until lightly caramelized.

Add Bacon & Onion

Stir in the chopped bacon and diced onion. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is softened.

Finish the Crumbs

Add the panko breadcrumbs and season with salt. Toast gently until golden brown. Remove from heat and fold in the chopped parsley.

Serve

Slice the rested pork loin and serve topped or alongside the pineapple panko crumbs. Finish with a generous spoonful of Alexandra’s Pikliz® Relish for a bright, tangy contrast that cuts through the richness of the bacon and pork.
