Puncture the skin of the pancetta with a fork or knife.

Place the pancetta on a grill over a container that can hold water.

Pour boiling water over the pancetta until fully covered.

Let the pancetta rest with the skin side down to dry.

Mix coarse salt with chopped rosemary and sage, and add black pepper.

Cover the pancetta with the salt mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Place the pancetta back on the grill, slightly inclined, over a baking tray.

Let the pancetta marinate for a minimum of 8 to 12 hours, preferably overnight.

After marinating, remove excess marinade from the pancetta.

Add about 2 fingers of water to the bottom of the baking tray.

Place the grill back on the tray, ensuring it does not touch the water.

Put the pancetta skin side up on the grill and bake in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes.

Lower the temperature to 180°C and cook for about 2 hours, ensuring there is always water in the tray.

Finally, increase the temperature to 230°C and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes.
