Roast Adobo Pork Loin

You ever wonder how to get that deep rich flavor into your roasted proteins? We have talked about brining before – however, the 2nd layer of flavor is a spice rub. I have been fascinated by the latin american cuisine lately – and just can’t get enough of it.

I found an Adobo rub that will take your pork loin to a different level. It has a zest to it – and it can be pulled to make some of the most amazing taco’s (displayed).

Most importantly – this can be done inside, on your grill or in a smoker. Try this same recipe on brined chicken. It’s ridiculously good.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon adobo all-purpose seasoning with pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2lb boneless pork loin roast

Directions

Step 1

Heat your oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl combine the chili powder, adobo, cumin, dark brown sugar and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Whisk in the olive oil into the adobo mixture, until it makes a paste.

Step 4

Meanwhile, take paper towels and pat your pork loin dry. Rub the pork with the adobe mixture, until well coated. Transfer the rubbed pork loin to a foil-lined roasting pan.

Step 5

Place in the oven and cook until it is dark and golden brown, and using an instant read thermometer registers 145 degrees F in the center of the loin. This should take about 35 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the pork loin to a platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before you slice it. via:http://marinatemebaby.com/2014/04/04/roast-adobo-pork-loin/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MarinateMeBaby+%28Marinate+Me+Baby%21%29
