If you’re in the mood for lots ofpiglove,considerwrapping boneless pork cutlets in bacon next time you grill.

The flavor is sensational, the texture lively and the comfort indescribable. The fat in the bacon helps keep the pork moist given the heat of the grill. Do make sure to grill the meat over indirect heat to keep the bacon from burning.

Serve the pork with sliced tomato rounds, corn on the cob and a big slice of apple pie. Tips

Keeping the bacon on the pork may pose problems. Consider using a toothpick soaked in water for 20 minutes to hold the bacon slices in place. You also can cook the pork using a grill basket.

If you don’t want to use a spice rub, consider basting the bacon with barbecue sauce during grilling. Any smoky commercial brand of sauce is fine. Beverage suggestion

The cherry notes in syrah make it the natural pairing for this dish. For nonalcoholic drinks, consider iced tea.
