Porketta Roast
Porketta roast is a flavorful, Italian-American dish that features a pork roast seasoned with a blend of herbs, garlic, and spices, then slow-cooked to achieve a perfect balance of crispy skin and tender, juicy meat.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dill seed
- 1 tablespoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pounds boneless pork roast
Instructions
- Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) to preheat. This temperature ensures even cooking, allowing the porketta to roast slowly and evenly, achieving a perfect balance of crispy skin and tender meat.
- In a small bowl, combine the dill seed, fennel seed, oregano, lemon-pepper seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder, mixing well. Generously rub this seasoning blend onto every surface of the pork roast. Then, place the seasoned roast into a 10x15-inch roasting pan, ready for roasting.
- Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the center is just slightly pink. To ensure it's fully cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
