PORCHETTA PORK ROAST
This rich, crackling-coated pork roast has all the intense garlic, lemon and herb flavors of a classic Italian porchetta, but is much simpler to make (case in point: you don't need to de-bone a whole pig). The only potentially tricky part is scoring the skin. If you are buying the meat from your butcher you can have them do it for you. Or, use your sharpest knife or a razor blade. It's worth the effort for the amber-colored cracklings it produces. The recipe feeds a crowd, so make it for a large gathering. Or plan on leftovers, which make excellent sandwiches for lunch the next day.

Steps:
- 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 450 degrees. Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 35 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and cook an additional 2 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 180 degrees, 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.

Steps:
- Butterfly the roast by cutting a slit about 1/2" off of the cutting board until there is just a 1/2" uncut along the length. Lay loin open and cut again until the whole loin lays flat and is basically a 1/2" flat "sheet". Don't worry if the thickness varies, you can pound it flat to make it an even thickness. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder on flattened loin.
- In a large pan, melt 2 TBS butter. Add 1 TBS of the minced garlic, the sliced mushrooms, spinach and saute until spinach is wilted.
- Spread spinach mixture evenly over flattened pork loin. Lay thinly sliced roasted peppers, thin strips of fontina cheese lengthwise on top of spinach. Spread Parmesan/romano evenly on top. Now you are ready to roll up the loin.
- Tie a loop in the end of the butcher's twine. With the long side of the loin facing you, tuck veggies and cheese and roll up the loin "jelly roll" style. Starting at one end, tie a loop and pull tightly around loin. Create another loop and pull tight. Each loop should be 1-1.5" apart. Continue until the loin is completely tied.
- In a large pan (use a griddle if it is too large) and add 1 TBS of olive oil and 1 TBS of canola oil to pan. Sear the pork loin evenly and remove to a platter. Add celery, carrots, remaining garlic, onions, and saute until soft.
- Add tomato sauce, white wine, chicken broth and bay leaves to pan and bring to a hard simmer. Return the pork loin to the pan making sure it is al least 1/2 covered in liquid. Cover pan and simmer for 2 hours or until thermometer reads at least 160 degrees inside loin. Smaller loins will take less simmering time. If the loin is too large for your pan, I have lined a large baking pan with foil put loin and sauce in (remember to have it covered at least 1/2 way). Then wrap tightly with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 90 minutes (or until thermometer reads 160 degrees).
- Remove from pan and let rest ten minutes, Slice in 1" or larger slices and top with sauce from pan. If sauce is still thin after braising, raise the heat and reduce while loin is resting. If you would like to make a cream based sauce for the pork, continue to reduce the liquid by half. Add enough heavy cream to give it the consistency you want. I then add some shredded parmesan, a little red pepper, some oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. (Not as healthy , but worth the calories!).
- If you eat it all, save remaining sauce and serve later over pasta!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°. Toss chopped garlic, chopped rosemary, fennel seeds, salt, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; season with pepper.
- Rub garlic mixture all over tenderloin (if you have time to do this in the morning, great; refrigerate pork until dinner). Scatter rosemary sprigs in a large baking dish and set tenderloin on top. Wrap bacon slices around tenderloin, tucking ends underneath so bacon stays put. Nestle halved heads of garlic around tenderloin and drizzle everything with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin registers 145° for medium, 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.

PORCHETTA-STYLE ROAST PORK
Porchetta, or roast suckling pig seasoned with garlic and herbs, is a traditional Italian dish. Here, the flavors of porchetta are used on a roasted pork shoulder. You'll need to start this dish one day ahead, as the pork has to marinate overnight.

Steps:
- Stir fennel seeds in small skillet over medium-high heat until slightly darker in color and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer seeds to spice mill and cool. Add kosher salt, peppercorns, and dried crushed red pepper. Grind to medium-fine consistency (not powder).
- Place pork in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Rub garlic all over pork, then coat with spice mixture. Loosely cover pork with waxed paper. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush large rimmed baking sheet with oil. Place roast, fat side up and coating intact, in center of sheet. Drizzle evenly with 2 tablespoons oil. Roast pork 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Roast pork until very tender and thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 190°F, about 3 hours 15 minutes longer. Transfer pork to cutting board; reserve baking sheet. Let pork rest 15 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour all pan juices into 2-cup measuring cup. Spoon off fat that rises to top. Place reserved baking sheet across 2 burners. Pour wine and broth onto baking sheet and bring to boil over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until wine mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 4 minutes. Add degreased pan juices and whisk to blend. Pour pan sauce into small bowl (sauce will be thin).

Steps:
- Score the skin of the pork belly in a diamond pattern; avoid cutting all the way through to the meat.
- Combine garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, fennel seeds, coriander, sage, rosemary leaves, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a blender; pulse into a paste.
- Rub pork belly and pork loin with salt. Flip pork belly so the skin is facing down. Place the loin in the center and wrap the belly around it. Cut off any overlapping ends of the belly and any overhanging portions of the loin; you want a nice, neat package.
- Unwrap the belly from the loin. Rub all sides of the loin with the paste; don't skimp-use all of it. Re-roll the belly around the loin. Pat the skin dry with a paper towel and use kitchen twine to tie it off in 2-inch segments. (This will make it hold its appealing cylinder shape as it cooks.)
- Place roast on a wire rack on top of a rimmed pan or pot. Place in the refrigerator, uncovered, until the skin is air-dried, about 48 hours.
- When ready to cook, remove roast from the refrigerator. Transfer to a roasting pan and let sit for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Place the roast in the lower half of the preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and cook until meat is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 2 1/2 more hours.
- Remove from the oven and tent with foil; let sit for 30 minutes. Remove twine and cut into 1-inch slices. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together sage, rosemary, oregano, garlic, fennel pollen, salt, pepper, and lemon zest; set aside.
- Place pork belly skin side up on a clean work surface. Using a very sharp knife, score skin in a diamond-shape fashion. Turn pork belly over so that it is skin-side down. Season flesh side of belly with salt and pepper and half of the herb mixture.
- Place pork loin on a cutting board. Holding the blade of the knife parallel to board, cut along the length of the pork loin, but not all the way through. Unfold so that it opens like a book. Place butterflied loin on top of pork belly. Season with salt and pepper and spread with remaining herb mixture.
- Roll pork away from you into a cylindrical shape; tie with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to make snug.
- Season skin with salt and pepper. Transfer to refrigerator, uncovered, so that it air-dries for 3 days.
- Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a rack and transfer pork to rack. Preheat oven to 500 degrees with a rack set in the lower third of the oven.
- Transfer pork, skin side up, to oven and cook until skin begins to crackle, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of roast reaches 135 degrees, about 2 1/2 hours, tenting with foil if necessary. Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.
- Make the salsa verde: In a medium bowl, mix together shallot, parsley, chives, vinegar, oregano, and salt; whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Stir in mustard and lemon juice, set aside.
- Make the sandwich: Cover split sides of rolls with salsa verde. Place 3 porchetta slices and some of the crackling on one half of each of the rolls; top with arugula; and sandwich together with remaining half.
