Directions

1. Preheat your smoker or oven to 250°F/120°C.
2. In a mixing bowl combine the duck fat pesto oil garlic and herbs.
3. Using an extremely sharp knife carefully unroll the pork loin.
4. Once your pork loin is rolled out about ½ inch thick rub on the entire herb/oil mixture.
5. With a meat needle tenderizer or forks go back and forth over the meat using a repeated stabbing motion to tenderize it; fold it in half and repeat the process. Flip it over and repeat the process again.
6. Weave raw bacon strips into a bacon blanket for the pork loin.
7. Place the pork loin on the bacon blanket and roll it into a log.
8. Truss it (tie it with butcher’s twine) and rub all the excess herb/oil mixture into it. Cover it in a triple layer of foil.
9. Bake the Porkchetta in your preheated smoker or oven for 2½ hours.
10. Open the foil to expose the top half of the pork. Drain half the juice and fat; then return it to the cooker for 1 hour to crisp up the outer bacon.
11. Remove your Porkchetta from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing it and serving your lucky guests! Enjoy!
