Ingredients
- 1 pork shoulder, 3-4 lbs
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh rosemary

- 1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- Zest of o1 lemon, 1 tablespoon
- ¼ cup olive oil
Nutritional Information
- Garlic contains powerful antioxidants that may help support healthy cholesterol levels.
- Fresh herbs are an excellent source of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Butterfly the pork shoulder to create a continuous strip. Score the inside meat and the fat cap of the pork about ½ inch deep. Rub 1 teaspoon of the salt onto the outside and inside of the scored pork.
- Place remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the other ingredients, except for the olive oil, into the bowl of a food processor or into a blender. Blend until ingredients are pureed. With the blade still running, slowly pour olive oil into mixture to create a paste.
- Apply the herb paste to the inside of the pork, working it into the scores.
- Fold or roll and tie the pork with twine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for up to two days.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 250° F. Place the Porchetta in a roasting pan with the fat cap facing up and put it in the preheated oven. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 180°F, about 3 hours. Increase the temperature to 450°F to crisp the top of the Porchetta.
- Watch carefully, and remove the Porchetta from the oven when desired crispness is achieved – you want the top to be brown and crunchy. Let the Porchetta roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
