Grutti Cicotto

The Cicotto tradition has been passed down through the generations in Grutti, with every artisan personalizing the recipe with their own mix of seasonings. A pig’s ears, snout, shin and innards are prepared by the butchers and roasted in the oven underneath a whole suckling pig (porchetta). During the cooking, the meat soaks up the fat dripping from the porchetta, infused with all the flavorings used to season the meat: garlic, rosemary, fennel, salt and pepper. This type of preparation can be found elsewhere in Umbria, but what is distinctive here is the use of less noble but highly flavorful cuts of pork.
