Rich, succulent pork seasoned with aromatic spices and herbs — what more can you ask for? Oh yeah, crispy skin. It’s got that, too. Porchetta has it all, including a long-storied past, weaving its way from the old world to the new, with many evolutions in preparation along the way.
Of the many interpretations of this Italian standard, this all-belly version is our favorite. It’s easy, only calls for one cut of meat (and doesn’t involve deboning an entire baby pig.)
Instead of shopping for all of the individual spices and herbs involved in this pork centerpiece, pick up a bottle of The Usual All-Purpose Blend. This seasoning has everything you need, including salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, lemon and cayenne. Just add some fresh sage and fennel fronds to make nonna think you actually put some effort in star
If you are at the correct internal temperature but the skin isn’t quite crisp enough, broil the skin for 6-8 minutes until it puffs up, watching carefully to ensure it doesn’t burn. Rest the pork belly for at least 15 minutes prior to serving, then carve into individual portions.
Great to have you back!
