porketta recipe

Does anyone have an authentic recipe for Porketta?  All my online searches seem to yield the same two recipes (posted below). Any input would be of great value.  I will probably take the best of both recipes and combine, unless anyone can point me in the right direction.

 

most common recipe found all over the web:

  • 2 pound boneless pork loin roast
  • 3 tablespoons dill seed
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

and this recipe which I think was from food network

  • 1 (6-pound) boneless pork butt roast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup fennel seeds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 fennel bulb, finely chopped, feather tops saved for garnish

The Zuni Cafe recipe for mock porchetta is widely available on the web & is delicious. Just Google Zuni porchetta. Patsy
