Porchetta-rolled pork belly with rosemary, sage and fennel

Porchetta-rolled pork belly with rosemary, sage and fennel

An Italian festive classic. Stuffed and rolled pork belly (all 1.4kg of it!) slow roasted for prime juiciness then blasted at the end for the crispiest crackle. We don’t hold back on the seasoning with our mix of rosemary, fennel seeds, garlic and sage that slowly seasons the meat as it roasts. The pork belly cut is very forgiving of temperature abuse and the real beauty of this rolled and stuffed number is that everyone gets the best slice.  

To Serve

Partner this up with potato gratin, duck fat potatoes and Brussels sprouts with a good glug of gravy. Hide the leftovers (if there is any) for a porchetta roll the next day with a handful of well-dressed rocket and swipe of aioli. 

Ingredients

Pork belly (86%), parsley, olive oil, garlic, rosemary (0.7%), fennel seeds (0.6%), salt, fresh sage (0.4%), black pepper, lemon zest

To Cook

Some Prep

Defrost fully and preheat the oven to 140C. Pat dry with a paper towel. Do not remove the net. Place the porchetta on a baking tray ensuring that it is skin side up. Rub the pork skin with salt and olive oil. Cook for 2 hours then increase the temperature to 250C and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until the skin has crackled. TIP: for best results, once defrosted, leave the porchetta, skin side up uncovered in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight. Remove the net and cut the meat and crackling into thick slices, spoon over pan juices, and serve with potato gratin, roast potatoes or mash and leafy greens. Ovens vary, please adjust cooking times if necessary.

    The rolled pork belly was so tasty, I managed to get the skin to crisp perfectly with great cooking instructions.

    Perfect for Christmas Eve

    This roast was perfect, defrosted 2 days before as instructed and added a little extra salt on the outside to get the perfect crackle.

    Xmas Day Hit

    I didn't eat this (vego) but my family smashed it. I slow cooked in main oven but finished in the airfryer and my goodness that crackling was amazing - I nearly relapsed into carnivorism ;)
