for starter's .....watch the temp and don�t let the center get by 155! i will test one that i will take to 170deg this weekend.... were not making pulled pork here! And let it rest after the cook! (Double the recipe... and u will have enough for one 7 to 8lb butt)........ the spice/herb blend I used.....

2 tsp. whole fennel seed ,i subbed � the seed for �chopped fresh�! (4tsp ended up at 2 tsp +1/4 cup chopped fresh -wow is that a differt looking veg eek)
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. rosemary
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. parsley flake
2 tsp. celery flake
2 tsp. basil
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder

7 -8 lb Pork butt.u can bone it out or not "Butterfly" it if u don't want to do what i did .
Need a roast with some fat for flavor and to absorb the spices,so a boned out butt works.

Slice into the roast and open it up so you can spice inside. ���.. spiral cut the roast lengthwise if u want just like unrolling a CINNAMON roll . after rubbing tie it with a string, or use a net made for cooking.

When you add the spice be generous! When I get done it is really covered to the point of being green from the leafy herbs.

Spice the inside, close it, and tie with string. Then do the outside.

Bake- grill- or bbq �..at 350 degrees covered until done ,to 155 in the center.. put the �roast on a rack �in the roaster and add a small amount of water in the pan for moisture. I cook it using a rotisserie > (on my 22.5 blue webber kettle I mite add cool) using the indirect method. 10 min set time when done slice away!! it really looks cool when u slice...and the smell is geat ...and i'm not a fennel fan at all!!!

slice and served on buttered hard rolls, mustard, and Swiss cheese along with homemade potato salad/slaw!.

pictures....we need pictures..
i'm to busy'e eating!!! lol
looks like "Pancetta"....but better
i'll add that i rub it the day before....
Porketta is a major food group in our area of the U.P. I'm surprised you know of it as few have ever heard of it. The seasonings vary from what you've described. Lots less green and lots more pepper...especially crushed red pepper.

It is one of the finest things you can cook, long and slow, with a venison roast and makes the best gravy that you could ever put on potatoes or bread.
