    Meathead is joined in making this ultimate pork roast by Greg and Kristina Gaardbo of Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine, IL (chicagoculinarykitchen.com/).
    "When people think of the classic Italian dishes, pizza and pasta usually come to mind, but in my mind, it is Porchetta. They are BIG tubes of pork rolled around spices and other goodies meant to serve a crowd. When I went to Italy I tasted several variations and tried to think of how to create a recipe for you that is not so large but is true to the Italian versions. Others have tried. Cook’s Illustrated and the New York Times did something from pork shoulder that really is not even close.
    "Then, one day, I was hanging with my friends, Greg and Kristina Gaardbo of the Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine, IL, and I saw them nail it. Instead of using pork loin as I had been trying, they did it with pork belly that they butterflied. That captured the essence of the rich, fatty, Italian original. In this video I invited them to show you themselves. If you can get a meaty belly with the skin on, you can come even closer to the original," says Meathead.

    True porchetta always has the skin attached, that’s where the crunchy cracklings come from.

    • @AmazingRibs
      @AmazingRibs  Месяц назад +1

      I havde traveled Italy in search of porchetta. It is true that MOST porchetta has the skin attached. But there are many variations. In many places it is whole hog. In others it is just the rib section. If you click the link in the description, you will see the great Dario Cecchini, the world's most famous butcher, in Tuscany, rolling one without the skin and in the background one with the skin.

      That's how it was delivered. BUT, I've done it both ways, and the skin gets really hard, without the skin, the surface gets very crunchy. I liked it better without.

      @@AmazingRibsif you prick the skin, it is not hard but crunchy. It has to have the skin. I use the Chinese method, which is to soften the skin with boiling water then I use a thing with 12 sharp nails to put thousands of holes. Or the Filipino method, which doesn’t bubble up the skin but is easy to bite through.

    Great recipe - one suggestion though. The guests seemed really nervous. I think it might be because of the format of you introducing them then handing it over. You should try and make it more like a conversation so they are more relaxed. That being said, you're the boss. Been making your bacon recipe for 10 years now.

There are thousands of truly exceptional chefs out there who do far better at this dish.

      ​@@truthvfiction in my last trip to Italy I must have tried a dozen versions of porchetta. It is often made from whole hog, sometimes from the meat on top of the ribs, and belly is in ALL of them. This size is very similar to the presentation from Dario Cecchini, the world's most famous butcher in Panzano. You can see it and others in Italy here.

If you had clicked the link above you would have found this "Italian immigrants brought the recipe for porchetta with them to the US and Canada, and there are many variations floating around. Readers from Minnesota tell me that porketta (that’s how they spell it there) is common in groceries in the northeastern corner of the state (called the Iron Range for its iron mines), where it is more like a stuffed pork roast, sans skin." In Italy it almost always has skin.

      @AmazingRibs  Месяц назад +1

      One never cooks with a clock, one cooks with a thermometer. Doneness is measured by interior temp and that is determined by the thickness and the temperature of the oven (grill/smoker). There is a link below the video with the detailed recipe and info.
