porchetta
Rolled pork roast
Porchetta is an Italian roast pork dish, traditionally a whole pig boned, stuffed with herbs and garlic, rolled, and slow-roasted until the skin turns crackling-crisp.
The meat inside stays moist and aromatic with fennel, rosemary, and black pepper.
Outside Italy, porchetta often appears as a pork belly or shoulder preparation: The food truck serves porchetta sandwiches.
