Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the pork leg by trimming excess fat and butterflying it to create a flat surface.

Season the inside of the pork leg with salt, black pepper, and olive oil.

Mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, fennel seeds, lemon zest, and bread crumbs in a bowl.

Spread the mixture evenly over the inside of the pork leg.

Layer spinach and grated parmesan cheese over the herb mixture.

Roll the pork leg tightly, securing it with kitchen twine at intervals.

Rub the outside of the roulade with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Place the roulade seam-side down in a roasting pan.

Roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Baste the roulade with white wine halfway through roasting.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Serve with roasted carrots and onions.
