Porchetta Roast and Sandwich

Exactly fourteen years ago, I hosted a Porchetta Party at my home where we crafted a lovely porchetta roast and other porchetta dishes entirely from scratch. However, this time around, things are a bit different. I’m opting for convenience by cooking a pre-made roast from Costco. While it’s a simpler approach, the results are still delicious.

Porchetta stands as an Italian culinary masterpiece. It involves a dexterous process of hand-rolling and tying a free-range heritage pork loin and belly. This delectable creation is stuffed with a blend of spices, garlic, and lemon zest. Seasoned with a mix of salt, lemon juice, and white wine, the porchetta is then roasted to perfection.

With its succulent savory interior and crave-worthy crackly skin exterior, Porchetta Roast makes an impressive and photogenic centerpiece. Leftover roast can be transformed into equally spectacular Sandwiches.

The old gang is together again, this time for a PORCHETTA PARTY, BABY! Father Adam and I fell in love with porchetta at the Foodbuzz Festival in San Francisco and have been craving it ever since. The folks at Foodbuzz invited us to participate in their 24, 24, 24 event this month which showcases posts from 24 Foodbuzz Featured Publisher bloggers, highlighting 24 unique meals occurring around the globe during a 24-hour period.
The timing could not have been more perfect. Father Adam recently relocated to Southern California, and our dear friend Chef Allison is visiting from Washington, so we decided to throw a Porchetta Party, inviting our old friends who we worked with in the restaurant industry during the 1980’s. We were restaurant chefs, managers, waiters, and bartenders – all with fond memories of the business.
