Recipe for juicy porchetta with crispy crackling
Juicy porchetta with crispy cracklings.
Who doesn’t love crispy cracklings? We do, and that’s why we love this delicious roast, which has cracklings all the way around.
I think it’s the perfect summer version of traditional roast pork.
Moreover, it’s also ideal for grilling with a rotisserie, ensuring you get crispy cracklings all the way around.
If you don’t have a rotisserie, you can easily make it in the oven as I have.
The roast can be enjoyed with almost anything, and the stuffing can be adjusted to suit your taste buds.
Here’s the recipe for this summer version of traditional roast pork.

- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 kg Pork Chop scored (approximately size)
- Coarse salt
- Pepper freshly ground
- 150 gram Sundried tomatoes about 1 glass
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
- Note that you will need cotton string for this recipe:
- First, prepare the filling.
- Chop sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and thyme together.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper.
- Now, spread the filling well on the meat side.
- Roll the pork belly tightly, ensuring there's crackling all around the roast.
- Tie a piece of kitchen-grade cotton string around it.
- Rub coarse salt well into the crackling.
- Now, place your porchetta in the oven on a small roasting pan with a rack.
- Place the roast in a cold oven and set the heat to 125 degrees Celsius (257 degrees Fahrenheit) with fan.
- Turn the porchetta a quarter turn every half hour so it becomes crispy all over.
- After two hours, increase the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit) and continue turning the porchetta.
- Continue this until your porchetta has a core temperature of 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Then check the porchetta to see the status of the crackling's crispiness.
- Increase the heat to 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Fahrenheit) or use the grill function and give it a few minutes where the crackling needs the last bit of crispiness.
- Allow the meat to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
