A traditional Pennsylvania Dutch country dinner for us. In my slow cooker I cooked a pork loin roast, sauerkraut, carrots with apple sauce for 8 hours. On top of my stove the mash potatoes and green beans. It was a heavy but lovely meal.
I never had Porchetta. However, after reading your comments, I will give it a try. There Italian butcher shops close by my home. How many pounds do I buy for 2 people?
It can be very rich and savory. If the shop has it cooked and ready to heat and eat, a pound will give you a terrific dinner. I would recommend that you have it sliced very thin. If you are making your own, the pork belly can come in varying weights. I look for around 12-14 lbs in belly. The pork loin? It can be as big as you want. You will be rolling that up in the belly, tying it up, roasting.
