Pulled Porketta Sandwiches
"This is a great pulled pork recipe that is made in the oven. Using a porketta seasoned roast instead of the traditional “dry rub” changes this up a bit. Make sure you use a good quality bone broth or a low-sodium broth; since the porketta seasoning has a lot of salt you don’t want to add any more to this."
