Dutchs Easy Easy Porketta Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• To make the rub, put the garlic in the food processor and pulse to get it started. Add the oregano, parsley, thyme, sage, anchovies, and giardiniera, salt and pepper, lemon zest and juice. Pulse together. Add the oil and pulse some more until it forms a paste.
• To butterfly your pork, place the meat fat cap side down on your cutting board. Using a super sharp knife, slice the pork lengthwise parallel to the counter, starting about an inch above the fat cap. Slice along the meat so that it unrolls as you cut along. Try to cut it so that the meat touching the counter as it unrolls is uniformly thick. Make smaller slashes in any thicker spots.
• Season the pork with salt and pepper. Rub the herb-anchovy mixture all over the inside of the pork. Roll it up and, using butcher's twine, tie it very tightly about every two inches. Score any visible fat in a crosshatch pattern and season the outside with salt and pepper. Place the pork onto a roasting rack in a roasting pan, fat cap side facing up. Pour 1 cup of water in the bottom of the pan to keep the drippings from burning.
• Roast until super fork tender and "pullable" and the internal temp registers 200 degrees F, about 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Take out and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
• Pour the liquid and renderings from the roasting pan into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced. Season to taste.
• Either pull or carve the roast-your preference. I like to carve it so you can see the stuffed interior. Place on a platter, garnish with plenty of parsley, and serve with the pan sauce and fresh lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 18x13x1-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the oil, the Brussels sprouts, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Place on sheet pan. In same bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of the oil, the sweet potato, red onions, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place on sheet pan with sprouts. Roast 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix remaining 1 teaspoon oil, the garlic, thyme, sage, fennel seed and pepper flakes. Rub spice mixture all over tenderloin. Wrap prosciutto slices over top of tenderloin, tucking seams under tenderloin.
• Place tenderloin on sheet pan with vegetables. Roast 23 to 25 minutes or until pork is no longer pink (145°F) and vegetables are tender. Tent with foil; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F.
• Cut the roast in half lengthwise and open it like a book. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, fennel seeds and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork, pressing the fennel seeds and garlic into the meat. Spread the chopped fennel bulb over the meat, the fold the meat back together and tie it with a string.
• Place the meat in a roasting pan, cover and bake for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. Toward the last 40-50 minutes of cooking, scatter the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and onions in the roasting pan around the meat, and continue to cook until pork is cooked through and falls apart when touched with a fork. Stir the vegetables now and then so they brown evenly.
• Allow meat to sit for 5 minutes on a cutting board. To serve, pull the pork apart (instead of slicing), and serve with the roasted vegetables. Garnish with feathery fennel tops.

Steps:

• Crush fennel seeds in mortar with a pestle for 1 minute. Add garlic, sage, pepper, rosemary, salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest; pound into a thick paste, 2 or 3 minutes. Add olive oil and pound until rub is evenly incorporated.
• Cut a slit 3/4 of the way through the center of the tenderloin, leaving 1 inch on each end uncut. Spread 1 tablespoon of the rub inside the slit; close up roast. Spread the remaining rub evenly over the roast. Wrap bacon strips around the roast, trying to keep seams on the bottom.
• Wrap roast in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; place roast in the center.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 134 degrees F (57 degrees C), about 25 minutes. Let roast rest for 10 minutes and internal temperature rise to 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In 6-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add pork loin, top side down; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until brown. Turn; brown 3 to 4 minutes on second side. Transfer pork to cutting board.
• Add onions to butter in Dutch oven; cook 1 to 3 minutes or until onions just begin to soften. Increase heat to medium-high. Add broth; heat to simmering, then cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently to release onions and browned bits from bottom. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix garlic, herbs, salt, pepper flakes, fennel and lemon peel. Rub all over pork, then pile any remaining rub evenly on top. Place bacon slices over top. Place pork on top of onions and sauce in Dutch oven, then transfer Dutch oven, uncovered, to oven and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour or until bacon is crisp and meat thermometer inserted into center of pork reads 145°F.
• Transfer pork to clean cutting board. Cover with foil, and let rest until sauce is finished. Meanwhile, place Dutch oven over medium-high heat; boil sauce 10 to 12 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Use serrated knife to cut pork into 8 slices. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the dill seed, fennel seed, oregano, lemon pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well and apply to the roast. Place roast in a 10x15 inch roasting pan.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until internal pork temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Score skin and fat all over pork, taking care not to cut down to the meat.
• In a food processor or mortar and pestle, combine fennel fronds, rosemary, sage, garlic, lemon zest, salt, fennel seed, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Pour in oil. Pulse or mash until it forms a paste. Rub all over pork. If using a boneless roast, tie with kitchen string at 2-inch intervals. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
• Remove pork from refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 35 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and cook an additional 2 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 180 degrees, which will give you sliceable, tender meat. (Bone-in roasts will take longer than boneless ones.)
• Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Make sure everyone gets some of the cracklings.
