Pork fillet

When we got our pig back from the butcher, there was a lovely piece of pork fillet included. We had it the other night, with roast potatoes, runner beans and peas - all our own produce. Most satisfying!

Dan stuffed it with a mixture of white bread crumbs, sage, thyme, onion, butter, lemon and egg, wrapped it in streaky bacon, glazed it with honey and mustard before roasting it. It was really delicious.

We had it cold the following night with roasted vegetables - parsnip, swede, potato, beetroot, carrot and onion (all ours except the onion), and I think the pork was even nicer cold.
