Mixing together different spices is fun. You try to taste the mixture in your mind. Then you finally take a small taste and say, “that’s not bad” and you are happy. The mood you are in usually sets the tone of the spice rub. Yes, this is true, sometimes you feel tropical and other times quite classic, retro or spicy; it depends on the mood. It is a good way to let your feelings come through and then watch the smiles it brings to the table.
3 lb. bones pork loin – sliced thin
Rub:
¾ tbs. cinnamon
¾ tbs. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground curry
¾ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. instant coffee
Combine all of the spices on a small dish.
Place the pork in a bowl; add the rub and work the rub into the meat with your hands.
Place the meat in a zip-lock bag and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour or more.
Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Place a few slices of meat in the heated pan. Do Not overcrowd the pan. The meat will not get a nice color.
Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the slices. The juices should run clear and there should be no pink.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

Pork, the other white meat. I love pork. This sounds good and yes different spices is a must. Sometimes you get a great combination that becomes a regular.

Hi Catherine, this is certainly a recipe worth trying. I’ve never prepared pork with these spices however, I have seen recipes with them. I think it is now time for me to try them, right?…maybe the pork will taste better to me…I’m not a fan of this meat! Wish me well…
Hugs,
Loretta

Catherine, This is a great sounding recipe! Love pork and these spices must really make the flavor pop… I do like a touch of pink in the middle though…as long as the temperature is right. Frying is a plus too… Adds texture and color! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
