Pork Preparation

Prepare the Pork
Lay the pork belly skin-side down on a clean surface. Trim any excess fat, if necessary. Place the pork loin on top of the belly.

Season the Meat
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and sage. Rub this mixture all over the pork, ensuring it's well coated.

Marinate
Drizzle olive oil over the rolled pork and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
