Porcetto Arrosto - Roasted Suckling Pig

Porcetto arrosto is one of the traditional foods that make Sardinian Cuisine popular.

This wonderful dish is made with a suckling pig, roasted for hours inside a brick oven or over a fire on the ground and just sprinkled with some salt. In Italy we don't like to put sauces or any strong flavor that could potentially cover the real flavors of fresh meat and fish; Instead we like to highlight their freshness just by adding simple things like extravergin olive oil, salt, pepper and simple spices. The taste of the soft meat and the crunchiness of the skin is just to die for! It is generally served with just some salt sprinkled on top. When I was a kid I remember during our family gatherings, I used to walk around the table from person to person and ask if they could give me the crunchy part of their meat! LOL Enjoy! Buon Appetito!

Slow cooked BBQ Pulled Pork

Last night I was very excited of trying my new Crock pot for the first time! I wanted to try the recipe for the BBQ Pulled pork I fell in love with during my trip to Birmingham (Alabama).


What I used was:

Pork tenderloin, Salt, pepper, onions, a little bit of extra vergin olive oil and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

Just place a little bit of olive oil in the crock pot and some onions. Rub your pork with salt pepper and BBQ sauce. Place the pork in the Crock pot and top it with some more onions and BBQ Sauce. Cook on low for 6-7 hours.



I came back home from class and smelled this wonderful aroma of BBQ Pork! I love my crock pot! It's like somebody is cooking for me while I am away! I made some potato rolls sandwiches with it, and also some lettuce wraps topped with mozzarella cheese... delicious! Enjoy! Buon Appetito!
