Hi,
as promised here is the way i made the pig.
i already said i severed the head because it didn't fit the oven so you do as you wish.
i opened it from throat to the groin, and stuffed it with
6-7 garlic cloves (just smashed)
bunch of pepper grain
bigger bunch of fennel seeds
5-6 twigs of rosemary
salt
4-5 smashed juniper berry
i would have liked to add some fennel greens but i couldn't find it.
i treated the skin with extravirgin olive oil and salt
i closed it and i kept it in the fridge for about a day before cooking it
To cook it i put it on a grill with a backing pan below (other wise my wife would have killed me
) i add treated again the skin with oil and salt.
then i put it in the oven at 130 C° degree (266 F°) for 4 hours (i flip it after 2) and then i give finished with 20 minutes at 220 C° degree (428 F°)
Buon Appetito
