Thank you so much for your porketta seasoning recipe, I lost mine from Minnesota, and wanted this old world taste that I remember.

All the seasonings are fine except the amount of salt — I would decrease to about a 1/2 tsp of salt. Way to salty with 2 teaspoons.
That’s what’s great about this recipe…it’s completely flexible to your individual taste. 🙂
