  1. Chef, I don't usually ask you questions but here goes. I wonder if Pancetta would be even better than bacon? I love bacon however, I had to wonder. LOL, I should have waited until the end of the video. You just said, "you can use pancetta for this." Question answered.

  2. Chef John thank you for that inspiring video. I did not have a few of your ingredients so I put some together of what I did have, started with S&P, did the mustard rub an all i had was panko bread crumbs ( thanks for that tip to keep the juices in the pork!)A mix of spices that I had that smelled good together. For the gravy applejuice for the wine, dijon mustard as you did and S&P and blasmic vinegar and a drizzle of a balsamic glaze on the pork before bacon wrapped and after cooked. Calling it Spiced Pork with Apple Balsmic Gravy. Will have to let you know how it tastes once it is done.

  3. We made this for Thanksgiving dinner. The bacon was perfect, it gave a really nice smokey flavor to the pork. I used pecans instead of walnuts. This is the second time I've had nuts in a pork roulade and IMO they come out kind of mealy from the moisture. I think next time, I will put the nuts on top, and try to find a substitute for the stuffing. Maybe rice? Or seasoned rice crispies???? IDK

  4. I saw this recipe and I knew that's what was for supper tonight, since i had the tenderloin out and was going to do it w/ cranberries, apples, red onion and bacon wrapped tops w/ super course cracked pepper. I don't have walnuts now (bummer), so I subbed w/ pine nuts,w hich should also be awesome.. Sour cream and chive scallopped potatoes on the side, yum. Can't wait. Will try and update.
    Edit: My pine nut version was absolutely delicious and as suspected, my sour cream and chive scalloped potatoes were perfect w/ them. This is going on the table every Christmas and Halloween and would make an amazing potluck dish. Can't wait to try it w/ walnuts next time. I usually always have walnuts for baking, but oh well.

  5. I made two of these for Thanksgiving this year, just to change things up. It was delicious. Everyone agreed. (Even for the one I spaced out on and forgot the breadcrumbs in). Thanks for the great ideas!
