Let the puff pastry rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature. Cut the bacon slices into three lengthways. Whisk egg yolk and 1 tbsp. water. Unroll dough together with baking paper and cut crosswise into 24 strips. Place a strip of bacon on each strip of dough and turn into a spiral.

Peel and finely dice the onions. Clean and wash the leek and cut into fine rings. Form small balls from the ground pork with moistened hands.

Heat the oil in a large pot. Brown the meatballs all around. Remove. Sauté onions and leek in hot frying fat for about 5 minutes, turning. Dust with flour and sauté briefly.
