- 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..
- Two days later, when you remove the plastic wrap, the pork should have produced some moisture. Wipe this off with paper towels..
- Rub the dried herbs and black pepper of your choice into the dried pork. I like it spicy, so I add a lot..
- 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..
- 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..
- Brush off the dried herbs, and slice as you like. Freeze any leftovers! Be sure to cook this before eating it!.
