Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to the desired roasting temperature.
  2. Lay the pork on a cutting board and generously rub salt and 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary into the scored lines, ensuring the seasoning penetrates deeply.
  3. In a pestle and mortar, crush the fennel seeds until fragrant, then add the garlic and remaining chopped rosemary, smashing them together to form a paste.
  4. Rub the spice paste thoroughly over the meat, taking care to avoid the skin to prevent burning during roasting.
  5. Place the prepared pork in a large roasting tray with the balsamic vinegar, bay leaves, and olive oil.
  6. Let the pork rest in the tray for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb before cooking.
