Porchetta
Peperonata
Celery Salad
Method
Preparing Porchetta
Season the Pork
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Score the skin of the pork belly and rub it with a mixture of fennel seeds, garlic, rosemary, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon zest. Make sure to get the seasoning into the scored skin.
Roll and Tie
Roll the pork belly tightly and tie it with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to hold its shape during cooking.
Roast
Place the rolled porchetta in a roasting tray and roast in the oven for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) and the skin is crispy. Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
Making Peperonata
Add Flavorings
Stir in minced garlic, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is well combined.
Preparing Celery Salad
