Ingredients
- 4 pound Boneless pork roast

- Cut 4 pieces of twine about 12 inches long.
- Arrange the twine in 4 even sections.
- Securely tie the pork roast, ensuring that the thickness is the same throughout the roast.

Notes
- Slow Cooker: My recipe is great in the Slow cooker, simply brown meat and cook for 8 hours on low and use meat thermometer to confirm doneness.
- Toast: Fennel Seeds toasted really up the flavor in this recipe.
- Room Temperature: In order to cook properly, a roast should be taken out of the fridge and be allowed to come to room temperature.
- Garlic: I love a little extra garlic, so I sometimes adhere the porchetta seasoning with a little garlic paste mixed with butter.
- Resting Time: Truly, this is an important step to make sure that the juices return to the meat. Do not Skip it.
