CURRIED PORK LOIN
2 lb. pork loin roast
1 tbs. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 tbs. good quality curry powder (I use Sun Brand)
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
pinch kosher or sea salt (coarse)
Wash and pat dry the pork. Place in a baking pan or on a plate.
Mix together all other ingredients with a mortar and pestle or in a small bowl
using a wooden spoon handle to grind.
Rub mixture all over the pork, covering it completely. Using good quality cotton
kitchen twine that has been soaked in water for at least 5 minutes, tie the
pork loin in four places
to make a neat roast.
Cook on medium coals with lid on, turning once, until the internal temperature
reaches 160 degrees.
I usually accompany this roast with a marinated Tomato-Cucumber-Onion Salad,
and Yellow Rice garnished with chopped green onion and parsley.
