Slavinken

Ingredients: (4 rolls)

1 cup lean ground pork
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons fine dry breadcrumbs
12 slices bacon
8 toothpicks

Preparation:

Mix the pork, salt, spices and bread crumbs well. Form 4
cylinder-shaped rolls. For each roll, place 2 slices of bacon parallel on the counter. Roll the bacon slices around the meat roll, then fold a third slice of bacon lengthwise around the meat roll to cover the ends. Fasten this slice with 2 toothpicks, 1 at each end. Place the bacon rolls on a cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. for 1/2 hour. Remove toothpicks and serve.

NOTES : Slavinken are traditionally served with boiled potatoes and vegetables such as cauliflower, peas, spinach or endive and a Dutch-style salad.
