Bbq Pork Tenderloin With Bacon

1. 1

   Fennel Spice:

2. 2

   Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.

4. 4

   When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades.

5. 5

   Pour the seeds into a blender and add the kosher salt.

6. 6

   Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.

7. 7

   Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

8. 8

   Assembling the Skewers:

9. 9

   Rub both sides of the pork medallions with the spice rub.

10. 10

    Take a 1/2 slice of bacon and wrap it around the outer edge of each medallion.

11. 11

    Secure it by pushing a skewer right through the middle of the medallion; place 3 medallions on each skewer.

12. 12

    You should now have 3 round pieces of pork showing, the bacon from one medallion touching the next one (see picture) on each skewer.

13. 13

    Barbecue on High heat; flip after 4 minutes; continue cooking until browned and cooked.
