Roasted Porchetta

Bill St. John in Denver Post’s Life and Culture 2022-10-26 writes about apples and Pork Shoulder. This is a great lead into the the Pork that was ordered from Marczyk’s. The four pound Porchetta was picked up Saturday 10/21 with great anticipation. Opening the brown butcher paper the pork was scored, rolled and tied. Perfectly. The presentation showed kitchen skills. It was roasted for nearly 4 hours at 275F. Slow and long for the pork cap to melt into the meat. I have saved the rendered fat for another time. the Porchetta consists of belly, loin, tenderloin, rib meat, a little shoulder, and sirloin, all cavorting with spices, herbs, and garlic. , To finish the roast – it was drained off and returned to the oven in 450F oven. the skin was scored in diamond pattern and started to crisp up. Delightful.
