Roasted little "Cinta Senese" pork

Average preparation time : 20mins

Cooking time : about 4 hours

Ingredients:

Quarter of a little Cinta Senese Pork (should be about 3kg)

80gr. of salt

30gr. of pepper powder 

5 cloves of garlic

20gr. of fennel seeds

4 branches of rosemary

half a litre of extravirgin olive oil

Cut the pork in a half and break the ribs in the centre.

Add salt,pepper,the garlic cutted in little pieces and the fennel seeds and at last, the rosemary.

Close it then tie with a cooking string.

Then,like in this picture,put it into a baking pan. season with olive oil and cook at about 300 °F.

Don't forget (this is very important) to put in the same oven a pan full of water,this is because the pork needs to stay in the oven for a very long time,and this water will regulate the humidity,preventing the pork to dry too much.

Cook it from 3 to 4 hours (you can say it's done by looking at the skin,it should be golden and crispy.
