Method
- Prepare the spice mix: combine coarse salt, Cambodian black pepper, sweet red pepper, flavored chili, savory, oregano, fennel seeds, nutmeg, lemon zest, and orange zest.
- Add fresh herbs: roughly tear fennel fronds, sage, rosemary, and mint leaves; also deseed and chop a sweet pepper.
- On a work surface, layer the meats: start with pork, then beef, then lamb, sprinkling some of the spice mixture over each layer.
- Place slices of lardo between the meat layers.
- Roll the meat tightly into a compact log, then wrap the outside with slices of guanciale.
- Tie the roll firmly with kitchen string in several places.
- Secure the roll onto a spit using wire, wrapping it around to keep it centered.
- Cook the spit over a fire (or grill) with the flame at a distance, turning slowly, for about 2 hours. Baste occasionally with a rosemary sprig dipped in the drippings.
- After 2-3 hours, when the meat is browned and cooked through, remove from the spit, cut away the wire, and slice the roll into rounds.
- Serve immediately, drizzling with the collected juices.
