The farmer who raised the pigs used by Copenhagen chef Christian F. Puglisi ata week-long culinary retreatat Rocca delle Tre Contrade in Sicily broke down the racks for this roast; ask your local butcher to tackle the task for you. After an initial sear to speed up the rendering process, the well-trimmed and scored pork fat guarantees tender, juicy meat and roasts into a crisp, golden brown crust. Nutty brown butter, balanced with sharp, bright lemon juice complete the simple pan sauce that elevates this roast.
