Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Butterfly the pork loin by cutting vertically through the thick part to open it like a book.
  • Spread minced garlic and fresh oregano leaves over the surface of the meat.
  • Lay Parma ham slices horizontally over the pork.
  • Sprinkle chilli flakes over the ham and roll the loin tightly.
  • Secure the roll with string tied at 4cm intervals.
  • Place sliced unpeeled onions and oregano stalks in a roasting tin to form a base.
  • Set the pork on the onions, drizzle with oil, and roast for 75 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 71°C.
  • Deglaze the tin with vermouth and boiling water to create a gravy.
  • Rest the meat in the sauce for 15 minutes before carving into 2cm slices.
