2018 Week 40 Crockpot Porchetta with Green Beans

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 lb. boneless pork shoulder, skin on

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp. chopped sage

1 tbsp. chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

1 tbsp. chopped rosemary

1 tsp. fennel seeds

2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1/2 tsp. crushed red chili flakes

1 onion, quartered

1 lb. green beans, trimmed

extra-virgin olive oil

sea salt, for finishing

DIRECTIONS

  1. Season pork shoulder generously with salt and pepper all over. Using a sharp knife, score skin about 1/8″ deep, cutting in a diagonal criss-cross pattern about 1/2″ apart.
  2. In a mini blender, combine 1 tablespoon kosher salt, sage, parsley, rosemary, fennel seeds, garlic, and chili flakes. Pulse until finely ground, 4 to 5 times. Massage the mixture evenly all over the inside of the pork shoulder. 
  3. In the bowl of a crockpot, spread onions in an even layer. Lay pork shoulder on top of onions and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large pot add 1″ water and green beans. Bring to a boil, season with salt and simmer 5 to 6 minutes. Strain and serve immediately with sliced pork. Garnish with parsley and sea salt.
  5. Enjoy!
