Gennaro Contaldo’s Christmas Porchetta Recipe | Citalia

Gennaro Contaldo, Citalia Brand Ambassador, loves making this Christmas porchetta stuffed with pork mince, chicken livers and mortadella dish. His Porchetta Natalizia recipe is great to make for large groups of people, can be made in advance and sliced when required. The traditional porchetta, a popular street food in the region of Rome, is seasoned with lots of herbs and cooked on a spit, sliced thickly and served as a substantial sandwich. Gennaro likes to use this porchetta recipe for special occasions like Xmas time when family comes to visit. It also makes for an alternative Christmas lunch served with some roast potatoes. It is simple to prepare, slow-roasted in the oven, first at a high temperature and then much lower to cook the pork thoroughly through.
INGREDIENTS makes (4 - 6 servings):
3 kg jacket of pork (loin and belly boned)
salt & pepper
70 ml Vin Santo
zest of 2 x lemons
2 x tablespoons EVO & extra for rubbing
1 x onion, finely chopped
175 gr pork mince
175 gr chicken liver, finely chopped
10 x sage leaves
2 x rosemary sprigs
2 x thyme sprigs
350 gr bread, soaked in lukewarm water,
15 gr pine kernels
30 gr sultanas
6 slices mortadella
4 x large carrots, sliced lengthways in half
METHOD :
Unroll the jacket of pork and lay it flat on a board, sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub well in. Drizzle the vin santo, sprinkle the lemon zest and massage well in. Roll, wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees centigrade.
Meanwhile, heat the evo in a pan, add onion and sweat for a couple of minutes, add the pork mince and brown all over, add the chicken liver and brown all over. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Squeeze the excess water from the bread and chop finely. Add the bread to the cooled meat together with the herbs, pine kernels, sultanas and mix well together.

[@josephvalenti7268]

Gennaro bless you for cooking with the passion and delight of a friend!

[@pm4226-less]

I love watching his videos because you can tell that he genuinely enjoys cooking!

[@4abur]

Genarro is one of the most amazing cooks I ever watched. His shine personality is just making you smile and enjoy his beautiful craft. First time when I tried porchetta was in the city of Florence. During this adventure, I felt in love twice, in italian food culture (porchetta goes first) and in a beautiful girl enjoying it all alongside with me. Grazie Gennaro for bringing back these memories!

[@medic5363]

I’ve been coming to this video for years Ty for the memories

[@mthobisoronald8177]

[@AzOuLs]

[@Adamscell]

Gennaro thank you so much! Tried this recipe out last Saturday and it was probably the most delicious thing I've ever cooked! When I cook it for all my friends and family I'll be sure to tell them who I got the recipe from! ;)

[@guspo1]

When you added Mortadella I went to heaven. Que rico!

[@georgetempest9627]

Nice to see the soaked bread being used in the mix. My granny from Germany always used that together with egg in minced pork to bind burgers with. They never came apart in the frying pan. The best is stale bread or rolls for this.

[@maferogers8591]

You cook with passion...good job sir...you are contagious!

[@ricardomarson254]

Genaro você é um gênio, tudo que você faz é maravilhoso

This guy reminds me of some mob boss that has retired and went into cooking and youtubing as a hobby.
