Sweet and spicy, flavourful and easy to make. This recipe uses slow indirect heat to make a tender and succulent loin roast. You can set in on the barbecue and forget it so it is great when you have company. Inspired by a recipe in Cottage Life's Summer Weekend Cookbook Ingredients:
1/2-1 1/2 kg boneless pork loin |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1 teaspoon granulated garlic (or two cloves fresh crushed) |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon cumin powder |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
2 limes, juice of |
1 lemon, juice of |
salt and pepper, as desired |
1/4 cup lime juice or 1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup cinnamon honey (or 1/4 cup regular honey and 1/2 tsp cinnamon) |
1 teaspoon chipotle chili flakes |
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients for paste/rub and smear over pork loin.
2. Leave to sit 8 hours or overnight.
3. Mix ingredients for the basting sauce.
4. To prepare barbecue, set a shallow pan of water on the coals to cover half the barbecue. Preheat barbecue on high.
5. Place the marinated loin over the pan and turn off heat under the pan, but set at medium on other half of barbecue.
6. Cook meat for 1.5 to 2 hours turning occasionally. Brush Basting Sauce over loin during the final 20 minutes or so of cooking. Cook until meat is 150-155°F.
7. Let stand for 10 minutes, slice and serve.
