Give Christmas roast pork backseat, and instead serve a porchetta on the table. The crispy and juicy Italian roll roast with skin is here filled with a stuffing of shallots, garlic, butter, panko breadcrumbs and lots of lovely herbs. Enjoy it with roasted potatoes and a good salad or as a filling in a sandwich.
Remember to take the pork loin out an hour before you need it.

Add herbs and panko breadcrumbs, mix everything well together, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4/11
Let the herb filling cool.
Step 5/11
If the pork has skin, use a sharp knife to score it either in straight lines like on a roast pork or in a crosshatch pattern. Make sure not to score all the way down into the meat.

Rub thoroughly with coarse salt on the skin and into the grooves.

Now turn the pork, and distribute the herb filling on it.
Step 8/11
Roll the pork together, and tie it tightly with twine.
Step 9/11
Place the roast in an oven-safe dish, and roast it in the oven for approximately 1.5 hours at 160 degrees fan/180 degrees conventional oven until the internal temperature reaches 65 degrees.
Step 10/11
Turn the oven temperature up to 220 degrees fan/240 degrees conventional oven, and continue roasting until the skin is crispy. Be careful that it doesn't burn.
Step 11/11
Let the porchetta rest uncovered for 15-20 minutes before carving.
