1
Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until caramelized.
2
Prepare the Porcelet
Rub the porcelet with salt and black pepper, ensuring the seasoning penetrates the skin. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern for better crackling.

3
Roast the Porcelet
Place the prepared porcelet in a roasting pan and roast in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) and the skin is crispy.
4
Prepare the Vinaigrette
In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and roasted garlic (squeezed out of its skin) until emulsified.
5
Sauté the Peppers
Slice the Jimmy Nardello peppers and sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat until soft and slightly charred.

6
Plate the Dish
Slice the roasted porcelet and serve on a platter topped with sautéed peppers, pickled nectarines, and drizzle with the Dijon vinaigrette.
