Indulge in the flavorful delight of porchetta sandwiches topped with garlic herb mayo. Tender roasted pork belly, infused with aromatic herbs and spices, served on crusty baguette slices with a creamy and zesty mayo spread.
Ingredients: 1 3 to 4-pound pork belly, skin-on, boneless. 2 tablespoons fennel seeds. 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 teaspoons kosher salt. 1 teaspoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 baguette, sliced. 1 cup mayonnaise. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Arugula, for serving.
Instructions: Make crosshatch marks on the pork belly skin. Fennel seeds, rosemary, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes should all be put in a spice grinder and mixed together. Fine-grind until smooth. Make sure the pork belly is well covered by rubbing the spice mix all over it. Roll up the belly and tie it off with kitchen twine. Put the porchetta in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight. Warm the oven up to 325F 165C. Lay the porchetta out on a wire rack that is set in a roasting pan. Use olive oil to rub. Put porchetta in the oven and roast it until the internal temperature reaches 145F 63C. This should take about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Then, cut it into thin slices. Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to mayonnaise in a bowl. This will make garlic herb mayo. For a sliced baguette, spread garlic herb mayo on it. To make sandwiches, put arugula and sliced porchetta on top of slices of baguette. Serve and have fun!
