Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink. Remove the sausage (but keep the fat in the pan) and set it aside.

  4. In a food processor, pulse the bread with the sage, rosemary, and thyme until it becomes coarse crumbs.

  5. Heat the butter in a medium saute pan and cook the breadcrumbs over medium-high heat until they are coated with butter and lightly toasted, which should take about 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixture.

  6. Prepare the roast as if you were making a jellyroll. Place the roast on a surface with the short side facing you and the fat facing down. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast open about 1/2-inch from the bottom, parallel to the surface, without cutting all the way through. Continue cutting and unrolling the roast until you have a large, thin piece of meat. Place this piece of meat between two sheets of waxed or parchment paper and lightly pound it with a meat mallet to
