Nona's \"Old Country\" Porketta Sandwiches
Serves 8
Ingredients
Scale:
1x
- 5 pound Pork Loin
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoon Black pepper (coarsely ground)
- 2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoon Onion powder
- 1½ teaspoon Dry mustard
- 1½ teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sage (dried)
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Combine all spices and apply liberally to loin making sure to rub into score marks.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 overnights.
- Add 1 cup of water to a crockpot and place loin in water. Water should just cover the bottom of the crock and come up a fraction of an inch on the meat.
- Slow roast for the entire day. Baste as often as possible.
- Remove loin and reserve the juices still in the crock.
- Pull the meat apart in small chunks. The meat will appear fairly dry but should pull apart easily.
- Strain the juice to get rid of any fat chunks. Once the sammich is made, top with these juices.
- These taste best when served on nice hard rolls.
Tips
