"Porketta is an Italian pork roast with a wee bit of heat from the black pepper and lovely sweet and refreshing flavors from the fennel and dill. It is actually very easy to make. It is awesome right out of the oven served warm with your favorite side or refrigerated and thinly sliced and used as lunch meat."
