This was my first attempt at Porketta and my boys requested that this go into the frequently made file! I mixed spices with a bit of olive oil to help them stick to roast..yummy!

The first time I made this recipe, I would have given it 3 stars. The flavor did not infuse the meat as I would have liked. I made it again with a few modifications and it was WONDERFUL! First, I salted the roast before applying the rub. Second, I ground the fennel and dill. Third, I added 1 tsp. of paprika because all the pre-made porketta roasts in the meat section have it. Also, I put it in the slow cooker for 10 hours on low, turning once half-way through. Before serving I cut the meat and let it soak in the juices for about 5 minutes. MMMM. I think the leftovers will be shredded and used in sandwiches.

This is delicious! Pork on its own, not so much, but the seasonings make it simply amazing! Unfortunantly I didn't have fennel seed, so I didn't have the "full experience". It goes great with tomatoes sauted in butter! Try it!

My husband has been wanting to make porketta, and after reviewing several recipes, this is the one we tried. It was excellent! I got a boneless pork loin roast, which he butterflied and pounded a bit. To the herbs he added a bit of olive oil to make a paste, then rubbed it on the meat. Then, rolled it and tied it and did it on the grill. It was really good ... so much better than the premade porkettas we've had. I'm not wild about dill, because it can overpower other flavors, but it worked well with the other herbs.

This was pretty good; better than the paprika-laden versions of pre-seasoned porketta that I get from the grocery store. I toasted my fennel seed and ground part it for a more pronounced anise flavor.

Yum! Thanks for the recipe - My sister's in-laws are Italian and this is their traditional Christmas Day dinner, but they usually order the seasoned roast from a local deli. They use rosemary instead of the dill, though. We always roast potatoes in the pan so they get all crisp and seasoned by the spices and drippings - Delicious!

This was amazing! I made a few changes to adjust to what I had on hand. I didn't have any fennel or lemon pepper, but used lime juice instead. On the recommendation of others, I mixed the herbs with some olive oil (roasted garlic) before rubbing it on the roast. Juice, spicy and delicious!! YUMM!

I loved the seasonings. The only thing I did different was I sliced the pork so it would lay flat and sprinkled the spices across the meat and then rolled and tied it. I was looking for a good porketta recipe and this is it...thanks

The seasonings in this were incredibly delicious. Taking the advice of others I did grind all the spices together. I used the seasoning rub on a boneless loin of pork. Will definitely make this again.

I made this roast for my husband and myself. I normally love pork but I was not to thrilled about this recipe. BUT my husband who normally doesnt like pork at all, liked this and actually asked me to fix it again (Go figure).
