Pork is the favorite meat of Bajans so when I found this very simple recipe for roast pork I knew I had to make it. It proved to be a pretty good choice as the spice rub was very good. Unfortunately it did not penetrate the meat as much as I would have liked so I personally needed to salt the slices before eating them. Still, it's a very pleasant dish and I'd recommend it for those who like pork. I served it with steamed cauliflower, a vegetable eaten in the island.
