Recipe Notes
you can safely cook pork to 140 degrees, but I don't like any pink in my pork so I cook to 160 degrees.
If you want to try elevating this rub add a lot of finely minced garlic 8-10 cloves) and caraway seeds to the mix, I also use a coarse salt or sea salt.
sounds great Aly
I have a 3lb roast,. How long should I cook it??
Hi Lisa, I’m guessing about 1 hour. It does depend on the thickness of the roast. Use a meat thermometer to take the guess work out of it and cook to 160º F
Was fabulous, purchased rack of pork at costco, easy and delicious.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Margie!
