Steps

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
• In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, sage, fennel seeds, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and olive oil for the pork belly.
• Place the pork belly on a cutting board, skin side down. Rub the herb mixture all over the meat.
• Roll up the pork belly tightly and tie it securely with kitchen twine.

• Unroll the pork belly and spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the meat.
• Roll up the pork belly again and tie it securely with kitchen twine.
• Place the porchetta on a rack in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
