Roli Roti is well known on the food truck scene, especially at farmer's markets. I recently tried them when they catered our barbecue event and was excited to see them making their delicious porchetta. At the farmer's market, you'll also seem them offering rotisserie chicken and pork knuckles too.
- Farro Salad with Tomatoes and Herbs - For those who aren't familiar, farro is like large barley. These Italian pearl farro berries are tossed with diced tomatoes and chopped fresh herbs. The dressing, made from lime juice, vinaigrette, and soy sauce, penetrates each berry so it has a full-flavored and light taste. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad.
- Salad Verde - A variety of greens was tossed with RoliRoti’s original French vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is well-balanced - with just the right proportion of oil to vinegar. The greens were fresh and yummy.- Rotisserie Porchetta - Heritage’s free range pork loin is rolled into the belly with Thomas’s original herb mix with lemon zest. Grilled on the rotisserie for four hours until crispy brown on the outside, the meat is flavored well and juicy. I liked how the guys offered a sample of the crispy pork belly and were happy to add more of the crispy stuff to my sandwich since the guy in line before me wanted only the meat. Before putting the meat into the sandwich, they season it with rosemary and salt. That extra flavor along with the soft bread and fresh greens make for a great combination. A good amount of meat was included, making this sandwich, which appeared a little on the small side, filling and satisfying. If there was anything I could change, I would reduce the thickness of bread by just a little bit.
If you get the chance, try Roli Roti and don't skip the salad - they're just the right complement for their delicious meat.
