Description

Porchetta is an Italian classic — pork with skin and fat rolled with herbs and spices, then roasted at high heat for crisp crackling. The combination of juicy meat, flavourful fat and crisp skin makes this a celebration dish.

Resting

Rest for 15–20 minutes. Porchetta is a large, dense roll — a long rest gives even temperature distribution and cleaner slices.

⚠️ Safety

Porchetta should reach at least 70 °C in the centre. Check especially in the middle of the roll, which is thickest and takes longest to heat through.
