Muschi de porc impletit cu bacon / Braided tenderloin fillet with bacon

Cut the tendeloin fillet in three, be carefull not to cut all the way , that way it will be easier to braid.
Put a bacon and fresh thyme ( you can use dried too ) on each piece.Start to braid it, stuff some crushed garlic in between .
Preheat the oven to 175 C. Oil an oven tray.Sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika on top.Drizzle some more oil.
I added some bay leaves , garlic cloves and the bacon that was left, it gave the sauce a better taste in the end.
It looked like that when it came out of the oven, can not explain the smell....HMMMM....it was in the oven for about 1 h, but it is best to check it with a termometer.
I drained the juices from the tray , added some meat stock, some soy sauce for the colour and I made a nice brown sauce that works perfectly with this piece of pork.I served it with mashed potatoes and a nice sallad with an italian vinegrette.
It came out very good considering that I had a couple of Tom Collins cocktails while I was cooking.....What??...IT WAS SATURDAY!!!
