This porchetta recipe is as good as it gets. It's all-belly porchetta with rich and tender meat flavored with fennel and traditional Italian seasonings and has the crispiest, chicharron-like crackling. And won't worry, making this famous Italian dish is surprisingly simple.
8 Roast the porchetta … Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan)/350F/gas 4. If you have a rack for your roasting tin, put the meat on that before putting the tin in the oven.
Literally translated, porchetta means “little pig”. In Italy, porchetta can refer to a roasted whole suckling pig, an older pig, or just the pork belly roll, “porchetta tronchetto” (which is what I’ll be showing you how to make). No matter what type of porchetta, there is always one common thread: the rind is always included.
