Pork Loin in Bacon with Courgette and Dumplings

Pork Loin is something I missed. I haven' t eaten it in a long time.

The base of this is recipes is from a German Website. I wanted some veggies to go with it and added more spices and a couple of fresh herbs.

Dumplings are a great side dish when you have a lot of sauce to soak up. My choice were large potato dumplings filled with a bit of fried bread. That´s the Bavarian way.

This a a good dish to prepare in advance when you have guests, just stick it in the oven when everybody has arrived. Dinner is ready soon.
