Porchetta
Italian porchetta
The Italian rolled roast, porchetta, beats our Danish pork roast by a long way! Here there is pork skin all the way around, and the meat becomes wonderfully juicy and gets the flavor of the delicious herb mixture.
TIP: Serve the roast with this fresh red cabbage salad with apples.
Italian roll with herb filling
The porchetta is filled with a delicious mixture of herbs, garlic, pine nuts and raisins. You can use whatever herbs you like, but the combination of parsley, rosemary and thyme is incredibly tasty. A little sage would also be a delicious addition. The raisins can be sultan raisins. The big, bright ones that are often used in Italy. But it is not a must, so regular raisins will also work. 
We recommend serving your porchetta with a hearty pumpkin salad with kale, pomegranate and feta. A fantastic combination that could also be served during December as a modern Christmas dinner.
