Ingredients:

Serving

fennel , spice : (use only 2 tsp, store remainder)
1 cup fennel seed
3 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp white peppercorns
3 tbsp kosher salt
1 pork tenderloin (approximately 5 inch long and 3 inch diameter , cut into 6 medallions each approximately 3/4 inch eac)
3 slices bacon, cut in half
2 skewers, long enough to hold 3 medallions side by side approximately 9-inch if using bamboo skewers soak them

Directions:

Fennel Spice:
Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades.
Pour the seeds into a blender and add the kosher salt.
Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
Assembling the Skewers:
Rub both sides of the pork medallions with the spice rub.
Take a 1/2 slice of bacon and wrap it around the outer edge of each medallion.
Secure it by pushing a skewer right through the middle of the medallion; place 3 medallions on each skewer.
You should now have 3 round pieces of pork showing, the bacon from one medallion touching the next one (see picture) on each skewer.
Barbecue on High heat; flip after 4 minutes; continue cooking until browned and cooked.
