Porchetta - Italian rolled pork shoulder

Back to Home

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

This is a simple dish, relying on good ingredients and not holding back on the seasonings, which need to be powerful enough to permeate the meat as it cooks. We make a paste of chopped rosemary, lightly crushed fennel seeds, garlic, salt and pepper and spread it on the flesh side of a boned out shoulder of pork. We roll the shoulder, score the skin and truss it in a net for easy cooking.

 

INGREDIENTS

Pork, rosemary, fennel seeds, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil.

ALLERGENS

MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF:
Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Gluten, Dairy, Shellfish, Fish, Sesame, Soy, Egg, Lupin.
PLEASE NOTE:
While we make every effort to ensure dishes are free of cross-contamination, our kitchen is not allergen free.

GOES WITH

This will go beautifully with a potato gratin or roast potatoes.  You can also serve it with a salad of leafy greens or an apple, fennel and cabbage slaw on the side. The same (or any other) slaw goes magnificently with leftovers in a sourdough roll with apple sauce or aioli.

 

PREP, COOK AND SERVE

Frozen product. Defrost in refrigerator. Once defrosted, cook and consume within 48 hours.

Please note: this dish contains raw pork and should be fully cooked before consumption.

Defrost fully and pat dry before cooking. Do not remove the net. Preheat the oven to 150C. Rub the pork skin with salt and roast for 2 to 2 and a 1/2 hours or until the meat feels soft when poked with your finger. Crank the oven up to 225C and roast for a further 30-40 minutes or until the crackling is hard when tapped.

Remove the net and cut the meat and crackling into thick slices, dressed with its own collected juices, and serve with the Tuscan beans or a potato gratin and a cabbage and fennel slaw or a leafy green vegetable like Swiss chard or kale.
