Instructions
- In a food processor blend all of the stuffing ingredients to make a thick paste.
- To prepare the porchetta, place the pork skin side up and in a landscape position. From the left-hand side, remove the skin from approximately one-fourth of the piece of pork to prevent the skin from being rolled inside of the porchetta.
- Horizontally score the skin, if not already done so. Flip the meat over and score the flesh all over so the stuffing will penetrate into the meat.
- Spread the stuffing evenly all over the meat. Roll the pork up, starting with the side with no skin. Secure with kitchen string. Dry the skin of the pork. Rub a little oil into the skin. Give the skin a good coating of salt.
- To estimate the cooking time, measure the meat through its thickest part and cook for 1 minute per millimetre. For example, if the porchetta is 90mm thick, cook for 90 minutes.
- Ensure your barbecue is clean and free from any grease or debris. Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over high heat (230° to 260°C).
