To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook homemade pancetta using 6 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Homemade Pancetta:
  1. Get 500 grams Pork belly (block)
  2. Prepare 25 grams Salt (I use rock salt from the Lorraine region of France)
  3. Get 1 Dried herbs (I used rosemary, thyme, basil, and oregano)
  4. Take 1 Black pepper (coarsely ground)
  5. Prepare 5 Water-absorbent sheets
  6. Prepare 1 clove Sliced garlic
Instructions to make Homemade Pancetta:
  1. Make several holes in the pork belly while cutting through the muscle fiber so that the salt penetrates it easily.
  2. Rub the salt into the pork.
  3. Wrap the pork up tightly to trap as little air as possible in the plastic wrap. Put the wrapped pork in a Ziploc bag or plastic bag, and refrigerate for 2 days.
  4. Two days later, when you remove the plastic wrap, the pork should have produced some moisture. Wipe this off with paper towels.
  5. Rub the dried herbs and black pepper of your choice into the dried pork. I like it spicy, so I add a lot.
  6. Wrap the meat tightly in the absorbent sheet (Pichitto) so that as little air as possible is trapped inside. Wrap this up in plastic wrap, put it into a ziplock bag, and refrigerate.
  7. Change the absorbent sheet every 2 to 3 days. Add the sliced garlic midway through. The pancetta should be cured in about 2 weeks! The meat should turn bright red.
  8. Brush off the dried herbs, and slice as you like. Freeze any leftovers! Be sure to cook this before eating it!
  9. This are the absorbent "Pichitto" sheets I used.
  10. The pancetta can be used in pasta, soup, or grilled…it is really versatile! See "Rich Minestrone Soup with Homemade Pancetta",. - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/158634-thick-minestrone-with-homemade-pancetta
