Appetizer: Pretzels wrapped in prosciutto

Preparation time: 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

Components:

• Thin breadcrumbs Thinly sliced ​​prosciutto

Instructions:
Prepare this appetizer 20 minutes before dinner, otherwise the prosciutto will soften the breadcrumbs, which is not something you want.

1. Cut each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise 2. Wrap the prosciutto around the breadsticks at an angle. Use 2 sliced ​​pieces of prosciutto per breadstick

Main dish: Pork fillet stuffed with onions, poached pears and Roquefort

Total time: 45 minutes | Difficulty: Moderate

Components:

• 1.5 kg pork tenderloin 2 Bosc pears (2 cups diced) 2 medium onions (1 cup sliced) 1 tablespoon salted butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 cups white wine 1/2 cup crushed Roquefort 3 sprigs rosemary 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 c. chicken stock

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the pears into small cubes and the onions into thin slices.
2. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the pears and white wine. Simmer steadily for about 12 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the pears are translucent.
3. While the pears are simmering, cut the pork loin horizontally in the center along its entire length.
4. Once the pears and onions are simmering, pour the mixture generously into the center of the fillet.
5. Pour the crumbled Roquefort over the onions and pears. Pour the remaining salt and pepper inside the fillet and the rosemary on top. We tie the cut fillet with a string, so that the filling does not escape.
6. Heat the olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pork fillet and saute for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Turn the fillet in the pan 2-3 times, allowing all sides to brown.
7. Put the fillet in the oven to cook. Let the fillet cook for 12 minutes or until it reaches 145 degrees.
8. Remove the fillet from the pot and place it on a cutting board to rest. The fillet should rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices in the meat, making it tender.
9. Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Simmer over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Let it reduce and thicken for 5 minutes, creating a sauce.
10. Cut the fillet, removing the string. Pour the sauce over the meat and serve.
