Porketta, also known as Iron Range porketta is a unique type of porchetta hailing from Minnesota. It is an important part of the local cuisine. The dish consists of slow roasted, heavily seasoned pork. It was invented by Italian immigrants in the Iron Range, and was likely created because traditional porchetta ingredients and techniques were not available. Fraboni Sausage in Hibbing, Minnesota produces porketta. The dish is similar to pulled pork.
