Ingredients

  • 2 kg pork shoulder (neck) opened into a roulade
For the filling:
  • 50 g dried porcini mushrooms soaked in 200 ml water for 20 minutes
  • 200 g white mushrooms sliced thinly
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tsp thyme finely chopped
  • 50 ml cognac
  • 2 tsp rosemary finely chopped
  • 10 slices prosciutto (or bacon)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F, using both top and bottom heating elements.
  2. Drain the dried porcini mushrooms, pat them dry with a paper towel, and chop them finely.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil, and sauté the onion for 3 minutes. Next, add the sliced white mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the cognac, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Lay the pork roulade on a work surface, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the surface of the pork. Roll it up tightly and tie it with kitchen twine at 5 points.
  5. Rub the outside of the roulade with olive oil, and season with additional salt and pepper. Place in a large, preheated skillet over high heat and sear for 1 minute on each side until it gets a nice color.
  6. Transfer the roulade to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with parchment and aluminum foil, and roast for 1.5 hours. After, remove the cover and roast for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  7. Let the roulade rest for 10 minutes before removing the twine. Slice into portions and serve with mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes.
