STUFFED ROASTED SICILIAN PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• 1. Saute the garlic & shallots in the 3 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Add the italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. When the sausage is cooked all the way through, add the basil & pine nuts. Mix the ingredients well & set aside.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 3. Lay the roast on work surface with the inside facing up and spread the sauteed sausage mixture over the meat. Cover with the blanched & shocked spinach, then sprinkle the spinach with the Fontina. Season with salt & pepper *To blanch the spinach submerge in boiling water for 1 minute then take out with slotted spoon & immediately submerge in ice water to shock the spinach & keep the bright green color.
• 4. Starting with one of the long sides, roll up the roast like a jelly roll and tie with the pieces of twine at 2-inch intervals, until it is firmly rolled.
• 5. Place the roast, seam side down, in a roasting pan & sprinkle with 2 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons black pepper, the basil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle the olive oil over the whole roast. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the pork has formed a crust over the top and the internal temperature is between 160 & 170 degrees F. Let the roast sit for 5 minutes, then cut the twine with a sharp knife or scissors & carve the roast.
• 6. Notes: While letting the roast sit, pour off the fat from the roasting pan & deglaze with 1/4 cup white wine (only wine you would drink) or water or broth. Put the roasting pan over low heat & start scraping up all the browned bits into the wine & cooking juices. Mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water & whisk into the simmering liquid. Taste for seasoning & serve with the pork roast. If you really like the taste of fresh herbs, such as rosemary & thyme, tuck a sprig of one or more under the twine & let the flavor seep into the meat while it cooks.
