Porketta is a succulent Italian dish that involves slow-roasting a pork loin or belly until it is crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. A traditional porketta recipe uses a boneless pork loin or belly, which is seasoned with herbs, garlic, and salt. The pork is then rolled and roasted until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. While the traditional method involves roasting porketta in a wood-fired oven, it can also be cooked in a regular oven.

- Let the pork rest before slicing: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender porchetta.
- Serve the porchetta with your favorite sides: Porchetta is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a simple green salad.
