PORCHETTA - ITALIAN MARKETPLACE SLOW ROAST PULLED PORK SANDWICH



Porchetta - Italian Marketplace Slow Roast Pulled Pork Sandwich image

This is JUST gorgeous! A domestic take on the classic Italian marketplace or street food, Porchetta, which is actually roast suckling pig. Porchetta is thickly sliced and served in ciabatta bread as a delectable hot sandwich throughout Italy. My recipe is a much-adapted recipe taken from one of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks, and it is SO easy to make at home. I cook mine in the crock-pot for meltingly soft and tender pulled pork - however, I have also given traditional roasting directions in this recipe. Preparation time includes the 24 hour period required for the pork to marinade in its herbed and spiced rub.

Time P1DT6h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 kg pork shoulder, boned, trimmed of fat and butterflied
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely diced
6 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 -3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
4 fresh bay leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
10 ciabatta rolls

Steps:

  • Lay the pork on a large chopping board and cover with cling film. With a rolling pin, mallet, or other suitable blunt object, pound the meat as close to an even 1" thickness that you can manage.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium high. Add all of the chopped onion, half the minced garlic, half the fennel seeds, all of the rosemary and bay, half of the ground cloves, salt and pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until all the fragrance has been released from the herbs and spices. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Spread and rub this mixture over and into the pork, then roll the meat up as tightly and neatly as you can. Tie with kitchen string at intervals.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients (minced garlic, fennel seeds, ground cloves, olive oil) and rub it over the outside of the pork. Cover it with cling film and refrigerate 24 hours, or at least overnight.
  • Remove the meat 40 minutes before cooking to allow it to return to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 150C/300F Take the cling film off the pork and place the pork joint in to a roasting tin.
  • Cook the pork for 4 hours to 5 hours, until it is falling apart when you test it with a knife or fork. If the spices on the surface start to char too badly (a little blackness is a good thing), tent foil loosely over the roast. (I find I need to cover it for the last hour of cooking.).
  • CROCK POT - at this stage, cook the pork in a crock pot for 4 to 5 hours on high, or on automatic for up to 8 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to rest at least 30 minutes to one hour. Slice, pull or shred the meat and serve in warmed ciabatta rolls.

ITALIAN PORCHETTA (SHREDDED PORK) SANDWICH RECIPE



Italian Porchetta (Shredded Pork) Sandwich Recipe image

Provided by Bujvary

Number Of Ingredients 18

Topping Choices:
1 (4.5 lb.) pork shoulder, fat slightly trimmed, boned, and butterflied (ask your butcher)
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 lg. yellow onion, minced
2-3 tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
4 bay leaves, finely crumbled (or 2 tsp. powdered bay leaf)
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1-2 tsp. coarse salt (the more the better if you have no health issues)
1 tsp. ground cloves, divided
1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and minced or pressed, divided
2 tbsp. whole fennel seeds, divided
Sliced pickled hot peppers
Fried or caramelized onions
Sliced fontina cheese
Sliced gruyere cheese
Arugula
Giardiniera (pickled vegetable salad)
Chopped cornichon

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, pepper, half of the garlic, half the cloves, and half of the fennel in two tbsp. of the olive oil until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool. 2. While mixture cools, pound your piece of pork into a large, even, 1-inch-thick piece with a meat mallet. The more square the piece, the easier it will be to work with. Place meat on a large piece of plastic wrap. 3. Rub onion mixture into the surface of your pork, working it into the meat a bit. 4. Roll the meat into a tight spiral, tying it closed with kitchen string. If you roll it too loosely, the meat will dry out so do this carefully. 5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, cloves, garlic, and fennel with a fork. 6. Rub oil mixture into the outside of the pork, working it gently into the meat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge about 24 hours. 7. When you're ready to cook, take the pork out of the fridge to allow the meat to come to room temperature. 8. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. 9. Unwrap and place your rolled, tied pork into a roasting pan. 10. Cook pork until it's fall-apart tender. This should take 4-5 hours. During the last hour or so of cooking, cover the meat lightly with a tented piece of foil. 11. Remove meat from the oven and let it rest about an hour. 12. Serve on crusty Italian rolls and allow guests to choose their own toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. A pork shoulder or butt is the best choice for pulled pork, as it has a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Season the pork well. A simple rub of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need to create a flavorful pulled pork sandwich.
  • Cook the pork slowly and low. The best way to achieve tender, juicy pulled pork is to cook it slowly and low. This can be done in a crock pot, slow cooker, or oven.
  • Shred the pork when it is fall-apart tender. Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces.
  • Serve the pulled pork on a bun with your favorite toppings. Classic toppings for pulled pork sandwiches include barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning, you can make pulled pork sandwiches at home that are just as good as the ones you get from a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pulled pork sandwiches a try!
