How to Make Barbados Pork Roast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, prepare the spice rub by mixing together 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of ground allspice, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pat the pork roast (approx. 3-4 lb) dry with paper towels.
- Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork roast, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned pork roast in a roasting pan.
- Roast for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155°F (68°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your roast.
- Remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- Slice the pork roast against the grain and serve. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
