Ingredients for Pork Loin
1 piece (3 lb.) of pork loin
1 pkg. (16 oz.) of OSCAR MAYER Bacon
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 red pepper, cut into strips
1-1/2 cups tomato sauce

Steps:

Preparing Pork Loin
Using a long knife, cut one long slit into the meat in the center lengthwise (from end to end) and fill the hole with bacon, onions, carrots and red pepper.
Using butcher's twine, tie the loin to retain its shape.
Spray frying pan or pot with lid with cooking spray. Add the pork and brown on all sides.
Then add the tomato sauce and bay leaf and let simmer over low heat until cooked through. Approximately 50 minutes.
Remove from pan and let stand a few minutes before slicing.
Serve with the sauce poured over the top and sprinkle toasted almonds.
Russian Potato Salad
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
Add potatoes and cook in boiling water for 10 min. Add carrots and peas and cook for another 5 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Once the vegetables are cooked, remove from heat and drain.
Place vegetables in a bowl, add mayo, mix together and refrigerate for a half hour.
Serve with finely chopped parsley.
