Time 6h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, more for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
2 to 4 jarred anchovies
1/2 cup mild giardiniera, drained
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 (4 to 5 pound) boneless pork shoulder, fat cap intact
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • To make the rub, put the garlic in the food processor and pulse to get it started. Add the oregano, parsley, thyme, sage, anchovies, and giardiniera, salt and pepper, lemon zest and juice. Pulse together. Add the oil and pulse some more until it forms a paste.
  • To butterfly your pork, place the meat fat cap side down on your cutting board. Using a super sharp knife, slice the pork lengthwise parallel to the counter, starting about an inch above the fat cap. Slice along the meat so that it unrolls as you cut along. Try to cut it so that the meat touching the counter as it unrolls is uniformly thick. Make smaller slashes in any thicker spots.
  • Season the pork with salt and pepper. Rub the herb-anchovy mixture all over the inside of the pork. Roll it up and, using butcher's twine, tie it very tightly about every two inches. Score any visible fat in a crosshatch pattern and season the outside with salt and pepper. Place the pork onto a roasting rack in a roasting pan, fat cap side facing up. Pour 1 cup of water in the bottom of the pan to keep the drippings from burning.
  • Roast until super fork tender and "pullable" and the internal temp registers 200 degrees F, about 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Take out and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  • Pour the liquid and renderings from the roasting pan into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced. Season to taste.
  • Either pull or carve the roast-your preference. I like to carve it so you can see the stuffed interior. Place on a platter, garnish with plenty of parsley, and serve with the pan sauce and fresh lemon wedges.

Categories     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes enough porchetta for 20 sandwiches. Salsa verde and sandwiches make enough for 4 sandwiches.

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 bunch fresh sage, leaves removed and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh rosemary, leaves removed and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh oregano, leaves removed and finely chopped
12 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 tablespoons fennel pollen
Coarse salt and pepper
3 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 (5- to 8-pound) pork belly, skin-on
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (3- to 4-pound) pork loin
1 shallot, very finely chopped
6 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley
2 tablespoons minced chives
3 tablespoons Chardonnay vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lemon
4 filone rolls, split
12 (1/4-inch thick) slices porchetta
1 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together sage, rosemary, oregano, garlic, fennel pollen, salt, pepper, and lemon zest; set aside.
  • Place pork belly skin side up on a clean work surface. Using a very sharp knife, score skin in a diamond-shape fashion. Turn pork belly over so that it is skin-side down. Season flesh side of belly with salt and pepper and half of the herb mixture.
  • Place pork loin on a cutting board. Holding the blade of the knife parallel to board, cut along the length of the pork loin, but not all the way through. Unfold so that it opens like a book. Place butterflied loin on top of pork belly. Season with salt and pepper and spread with remaining herb mixture.
  • Roll pork away from you into a cylindrical shape; tie with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to make snug.
  • Season skin with salt and pepper. Transfer to refrigerator, uncovered, so that it air-dries for 3 days.
  • Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a rack and transfer pork to rack. Preheat oven to 500 degrees with a rack set in the lower third of the oven.
  • Transfer pork, skin side up, to oven and cook until skin begins to crackle, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of roast reaches 135 degrees, about 2 1/2 hours, tenting with foil if necessary. Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the salsa verde: In a medium bowl, mix together shallot, parsley, chives, vinegar, oregano, and salt; whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Stir in mustard and lemon juice, set aside.
  • Make the sandwich: Cover split sides of rolls with salsa verde. Place 3 porchetta slices and some of the crackling on one half of each of the rolls; top with arugula; and sandwich together with remaining half.
