Low

Preheat the oven to 200° C On a cutting board, place the loin and, using a knife, make holes all over the piece of meat. Insert almonds, prunes, apricots, and garlic into each hole, sprinkle Sazón Completa Sassón® on the loin to season. Set aside. On a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, arrange the bacon and place the loin, roll the preparation using the aluminum foil, covering the piece well and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, uncover the aluminum, and bake for an additional 20 minutes for the bacon to brown. Let rest so the juices can settle. For the tamarind sauce, blend all the ingredients until you obtain a smooth sauce. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the butter, add the sauce and cook for 10 minutes until it slightly reduces, remove from heat and set aside. On a cutting board, slice the loin to the desired thickness, serve on a plate with mashed potatoes. Drizzle with tamarind sauce and garnish with fresh thyme.
