  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pork dry rub
  • 1 cup diced leeks
  • 4 cloves garlic finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons diced fresh sage
  • 2 tablespoons diced fresh rosemary

Instructions

Porchetta Filling

  • Add olive oil to a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and saute for 8 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and saute additional two minutes.
  • Continue adding sage and rosemary and saute an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add to the pork belly prior to rolling the Porchetta.

Porchetta Roast

  • Coat the inside portion of Porchetta with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dry rub, and filling. Roll the Pork Belly per the blog instructions and tie together with butcher twine.
  • Coat the exterior of the Porchetta with remaining olive oil and dry rub and filling. Place into the refrigerator covered for 24 hours to season.
  • Prepare the grill for two zone cooking and remove the Porchetta from the refrigerator.
  • Place Porchetta over the direct heat for 6 - 8 minutes or until you see a nice crust form. Rotate the Porchetta and cook over direct heat for additional 8 minutes or until you see a nice crust form.
  • Move the Porchetta to indirect heat, and add your meat thermometer probe into the center of the roast. Cook additional 2 hours and 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the probe reaches 145 degrees F.
  • Remove the roast from the grill, and tent with foil. Let rest 30 minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
