Cajun Pork

I have spied a new recipe site and I am very much hooked - porkbeinspired.com. It has an amazing amount of recipes & other useful information.

I bought a 1lbs & 1/2 pork loin roast the other day & wanted to try something new. After perusing several delicious recipes - I am definitely going to have to try the grilled pork loin in honey and port soon! - I settled on the Cajun Pork Roast (because it didn't need brining).

I mixed the seasonings (& changed them a little)

2 tablespoons sweet paprika

1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons thyme

2 teaspoons oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

& rubbed it all over my pork loin

I decided to throw it on the BBQ (we have a gas grill). I roasted it on med-high for 6 mins on each side & then turned it on low & gave it another 20 minutes. (temp should be 145F) Took it off the grill, covered it & let sit for another 10 mins.

Meanwhile I finely diced & fried some potatoes & made a very simple slaw (red & napa cabbage, carrot, salt, pepper, EVOO & white balsamic) as an accompaniment.

    It turned out delish!
