What is a Porchetta Sandwich
A classic Italian Porchetta Roast consists of the belly and loin of pork that is slowly roasted over an open pit. In some places in Italy it can also mean larger cuts of pork.
The leftovers are often used sliced and placed onto Italian style bread with various toppings. The most common is a salsa verde. In our case, we’re changing things up with a jalapeño chimichurri. This porchetta sandwich contains a ton of additional flavor to the more common pork belly and pork loin style Porchetta.
Best Bread for Porchetta Sandwich
Lean toward an Italian influenced bread for a porchetta sandwich. If none available, consider any bread that has a soft interior and a slighlty crusted exterior.
- Ciabatta Loaf or Squares (Preferred)
- Foccacia
Chef’s Tip – When making these for a crowd, slice the bread in half and place under a broiler for a couple minutes. This toasts the bread at the same time.
Porchetta Sandwich Toppings Ideas
- Arugula for greens, or a greens mix
- Pickled red onions
- Hot peppers (we love these ones, and this is *no* a paid endorsem*nt)
- Chimichurri Sauce
- Aioli
- Sriracha Mayo

Sriracha Mayo
Simply take mayonnaise and add Sriracha. It’s that easy. You can adjust the portions depending on the heat level and your taste preferences. Squeeze some fresh lime to brighten up the flavors.
Basic starting place is 1/2 cup mayo to 2 tablespoons Sriracha then use as a base for your porchetta sandwich.
