gennaro’s stuffed porchetta
main courses | serves 8Gennaro makes a mean stuffed porchetta. It looks and tastes beautiful, but don’t be intimidated because it’s really not hard to do at all. Get your butcher to butterfly the meat for you then make this beautiful stuffing and roll it up inside the meat before you roast it. You’ll want to have a piece of string about an arm’s length handy to tie your meat up once you’ve rolled it.
Preheat your oven to full whack. Lay the boned shoulder of pork on a board, skin-side down, and season well with a few really good sprinkles of salt and pepper. Massage this seasoning all over the meat.
Put a large pan on a medium heat and fry your diced onion in a lug of olive oil for about 10 minutes and when it’s softened but not coloured, turn the heat down to low and add the chopped chicken livers and pork mince. Use a wooden spoon to break the mince up a bit and mix everything together. Add the pine nuts, raisins, chopped sage and parsley, then season with a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Pour in a splash of red or mulled wine, give everything a good stir then take your pan off the heat. You don’t want to cook the meat now, you just want to get a good mix of flavours going so you have a delicious stuffing.
Put the stuffing in a bowl and put it to one side to cool down. Once your stuffing has completely cooled, spoon all of it down the middle of the opened shoulder. Roll the meat up quite tightly then tie it up as tightly as you can with 4 or 5 pieces of string. Drizzle all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and rub the seasoning all over the skin to help it turn into delicious crackling. Lay your carrots across the middle of the roasting tray and put the meat on top. Pour your glass of red or mulled wine and a glass of water in the bottom of the tray then put your meat in the oven. Turn the heat down immediately to 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for about 3 ½ to 4 hours until lovely and golden. Once it’s out of the oven carefully remove the skin and put it to one side. Slice the pork then serve it with some tasty bits of broken up crackling, lovely potatoes and a few greens or a nice salad. Absolutely gorgeous.

THANK JME FOR ALL YOUR RECIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!
can't wait to cook this puppy !
To copy and print just the ingredients list, above right:
- Drag the mouse pointer over the recipe text (ie. position the mouse pointer top left, click and hold down the left mouse button, keep held down and drag pointer from top left to bottom right of the column to the right side of this page, starting just before the word 'Ingredients', and release just after the word 'carrots') to select the text you want. You'll know when the mouse pointer is in the right place before you click and drag as it'll change from being a pointy arrow to being an I-bar. Don't worry if you've never noticed this before. Move your mouse pointer around on the page and you'll see what I mean. When the pointer is over text that it can copy, it'll make the change in appearance.
- Next, copy the text you've selected (Ctrl+C on a Windows machine, Command+C on a Mac, OR Edit menu, Copy, OR right click on selection (Control click on a Mac) and then select Copy from the menu that pops up)
- After that, open a text editor (Notepad, or similar) or Word or any other program you can easily paste text into and print from on your computer.
- Paste into your chosen program by using Crtl+V (or Command+V on a Mac), or by using the program's Edit menu, or a right click followed by selecting 'Paste' in the pop-up menu.
- Finally, print what you've just pasted by using Ctrl+P (or Command+P on a Mac) or open the program's File menu and click on Print.
Happy New Year Eddie, and everyone. Hope it's a good one for us all, and not toooo crunchy.
