Porchetta Shoulder Roast

Our porchetta style pork shoulder roast is a holiday staple in our homes.

It’s best slow cooked at 350ºF until just tender. Depending on the size of the roast you have this should take anywhere from 2-4 hours. The good news is this roast is versatile and eats well at various textures.

For a sliced roast - Cook at 400ºF for 75-85 minutes. Then rest for 15. The internal temperature should be around 155ºF.

For a pull apart roast - Cook at 325-350ºF for 3-4 hours. The internal temperature should reach about 185-195º It’s ok if it goes a little over.

Our favorite is cooking it to about 185ºF internal, and brushing it with a little vinegar for the last twenty minutes. This gives it a tacky brightly flavored exterior and unctuous interior.
