Leave it to our man Mario Batali to invent a dish that uses pancetta, Italian sausage, and duck liver—all wrapped into a duck breast, of course. He calls it anatra in porchetta—that's "duck in the style of pig" to you.In the second episode of MOLTISSIMO, Mario's cooking this stunning multi-meat roast for comedians Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett. The guys didn't come to spill SNL tea or joke about the Tooth Fairy—though there's a fair share of that; they came for a seriously indulgent lunch.It's just about the richest, heartiest thing you could make this winter, and it makes one hell of a centerpiece. To cut the deep, caramelized meatiness of it all, Mario tops the finished product with shaved fennel (plus its fronds and pollen), tossed with some lemon juice and zest. Now that's what we call "gastronomic supremacy."
If this doesn't stir your inner carnivore, we don't know what will.Cin cin, motherfuckers.RECIPE: Anatra in Porchetta
