Pughs Porchetta

Cooking instructions

To Roast: Preheat the oven to 200’C. Leave the string on the porchetta. Dry the skin thoroughly and rub the skin all over with olive oil and salt. Place the porchetta in a large roasting tin rested on some chopped carrots and onion, but do not cover. Place at top of the oven and roast for approx 20-30 minutes until the skin crackles. Turn the oven down to 160’C and cook for a further 70 minutes or until cooked through (Time will vary depending on oven). Gravy: Remove the porchetta from the roasting tin and set aside to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving, strain off any fat. Place the tray on the hob, add a glass of whatever wine you are drinking and stir until the wine lifts up any scraps from the bottom of the tray and is reduced to a syrupy consistency. Add a pint of stock and continue to bubble until the liquid is thickened to your preferred consistency. Season to taste and serve.
