Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by combining the kosher salt, fennel seed, anise seed, and bay leaf in a mortar and pestle. Coarsely crush the spices, then add the black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and olive oil to the mix.
-
-
Rub the pork roast all over with olive oil, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Place the seasoned roast in a large plastic storage bag.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed seasoning mix with minced garlic cloves. Sprinkle this flavorful mixture over the pork roast, then rub it in gently with your fingers, ensuring an even coating.
-
Allow the seasoned roast to rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or for even more infused flavor, refrigerate it for up to 12 hours.
-
Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C).
-
Place the pork roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan. Transfer any remaining loose seasonings from the plastic bag onto the roast for maximum flavor.
-
Roast the pork uncovered in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, allowing the exterior to sear and develop a flavorful crust.
-
After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 300Β°F (150Β°C). Continue roasting the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 155Β°F (68Β°C). This typically takes around 1 to 1-1/2 hours, depending on the size of the roast.
-
Once the pork reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist, succulent roast.
-
Let the roast stand for at least 15 minutes before carving. This resting period allows the juices to settle, resulting in a perfectly tender and flavorful porketta roast.
-
Carve the roast into thick slices and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides and perhaps a drizzle of pan juices for extra flavor.
-
