Welcome to our 2017 PORCH PARTY!!
Thanks to my friends Mary Mulari and Nancy Harp -- this year, I had a special theme --
"Food From the Iron Range".
Our menu will be:
Porketta (spicy, boneless, rolled pork roast)
Pasties (a savory hand pie the miners used to take to work with them)
Cardamon Bread,
Lefse
(here's an interesting video) Potica (a hand-rolled nut bread)..and sandwich loaf (more about that later).
John and I did a Porketta trial run the week before the luncheon.
 |
| He deboned a large fresh pork roast, cut it in two, and butterflied it... |
 |
| The spices are rubbed on the inside, then the meat is rolled, and tied. (in this case, we used the porketta sweater Nancy sent) |
 |
| The spices are then rubbed all over the OUTSIDE of the roast. |
 |
| They look great! |
 |
| And, while cooking, THE PORKETTA SMELLS AMAZING.. |
 |
| WOW. SO DELICIOUS. I cannot believe I lived this long and never knew about porketta. |
It makes me wonder what else I might be missing!!
It looks perfect!!
