Subj : Melissa Clark Top 50 - 40 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Sep 26 2024 15:02:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Porchetta Pork Roast Categories: Pork, Herbs, Chilies, Citrus Yield: 10 servings 8 lb Bone-in, skin-on pork - shoulder roast +=OR=+ 7 lb Boneless roast; fat trimmed - to 1/4" thickness 1/4 c Chopped fennel fronds 1/4 c Chopped fresh rosemary 2 ts Chopped fresh sage leaves 5 cl Garlic; mashed to a paste Finely grated zest of 1 - lemon 1 1/2 tb Kosher salt 1 ts Fennel seed 3/4 ts Red pepper flakes 1/2 ts Black pepper 1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil Score skin and fat all over pork, taking care not to cut down to the meat. In a food processor or mortar and pestle, combine fennel fronds, rosemary, sage, garlic, lemon zest, salt, fennel seed, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Pour in oil. Pulse or mash until it forms a paste. Rub all over pork. If using a boneless roast, tie with kitchen string at 2-inch intervals. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and preferably overnight. Remove pork from refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 450oF/232oC. Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 35 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325oF/165oC and cook an additional 2 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours, which will give you sliceable, tender meat. (Bone-in roasts will take longer than boneless ones.) Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Make sure everyone gets some of the cracklings.
