Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin with clapshot and a Glayva honey glaze

Method

Demand for Scotch Whisky pours across the world - did you know that 40 bottles are shipped overseas each second? Our chef has created a dish that boasts a delicious glaze mixed with Glayva (Scotch whisky liqueur) and honey to coat specially selected pork and clapshot.

Prepare the clapshot:

• Peel the potato and the turnips
• Chop into medium-sized pieces

Prepare the tenderloin:

• Trim any silver skin off the tenderloin
• Lay out a bed of bacon, weaving each new piece into the previous pieces until you have a nice cross-hatch of bacon.
• Lay your tenderloin on the bed of bacon and wrap the bacon around the tenderloin. Secure with toothpicks.

Sear and cook the tenderloin:

• Place the tenderloin in a heated frying pan with a small amount of grapeseed or vegetable oil.
• Sear the tenderloin for 3-4 minutes on each side.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the tenderloin and pan in the oven for 20 minutes, until the internal temp reaches 140 degrees.

Cook the clapshot:

• Place the chopped potato and turnip in a pan filled with water.
• Simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Reduce the Glayva liquor sauce:

• Place pan over medium heat.
• Add a splash of grapeseed or vegetable oil.
• Add 1 chopped shallot
• Sweat off the shallots for 2 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of Glayva liquor.
• Add 1 cup of orange juice.
• Add 1 spring of thyme and 1 bay leaf.
• Heat over medium heat for about 25 minutes until the liquid reduces and becomes a glaze.

Finish the clapshot:

• Remove the potato and turnips from the heat and drain.
• Mash the potato and turnips.
• Add two tablespoons of butter and continue mashing.
• Add 1 tablespoon of chopped chives.

Final presentation:

• Cut up the tenderloin into slices about 1 inch thick.
• Spoon a helping of clapshot onto the center of the plate.
• Add 2-3 slices of bacon-wrapped tenderloin.
• Strain the Glayva glaze and gently pour over the pork.
• Garnish with chives.
• Serve with a fine Scottish single malt whisky.
