Spicy Pork Roast (Pork Loin)

This spicy pork roast is my favorite roasted pork loin recipe. The meat is juicy and tender, coated with an incredible spice mixture that forms a delicious crust.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs boneless pork loin
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
  2. Roast the coriander, cumin, and mustard seeds in a hot, non-stick pan for about 2 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning. Once they begin to pop, transfer them to a plate immediately.2 teaspoons coriander seeds + 1 teaspoon cumin seeds + 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  3. Grind the black peppercorns in a mortar and pestle until coarse. Add the roasted seeds and pound again. Then, add the red chili flakes and salt and pound briefly.1 teaspoon black peppercorns + ½ teaspoon red chili flakes + 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  4. Rub meat: Dry the meat with paper towels. Place it in a large bowl and pour the cream on top. Rub the pork loin all over.2.5 lbs boneless pork loin + ¼ cup heavy cream
  5. Season the pork by spreading the spices on a large cutting board or plate. Turn the meat in the rub on all sides, with the first side having more spices sticking to it.
  6. Roast pork: Place the pork, this side up, in a lightly oiled roasting pan and roast it for 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F/ 60°C. Don't overcook, or the pork will be dry.
  7. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes; the internal temperature will rise slightly, reaching about 145°F/ 62°C, the recommended temperature for juicy pork.

Notes

  • The pork loin should not be confused with the tenderloin, which is a lean, long, boneless cut of meat.
  • Leftovers: Serve them as cold meat. Slice very thinly and keep in airtight containers.
