Porchetta is a traditional Italian dish that originated in the region of Marche, Italy. It is a savory, slow-roasted pork dish that is typically seasoned with garlic, rosemary, fennel, and other herbs and spices. The pork is cooked until it becomes tender and juicy, with a crispy and flavorful skin.
In Marche, porchetta can be found in various towns and communes, including Arcevia, Fabriano, and Senigallia. Some popular shops and stores where you can find porchetta include “La Porchetta di Arcevia” in Arcevia, “Porchetta di Fabriano” in Fabriano, and “Porchetta Senigallia” in Senigallia.
One popular recipe for porchetta involves marinating the pork with a mixture of garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper. The pork is then rolled and tied, and roasted in the oven for several hours until it is cooked through and the skin is crispy. Another recipe variation includes stuffing the pork with a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs, and spices before roasting.
