Fire
Cracker Pork - Unbelievable
3 to 4 pound pork roast 2 tsp pepper
2 tsp paprika 1 tsp sage
1/2 tsp red pepper 2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp salt
2 tsp dry mustard
Mix all spices, rub on roast and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least over night, best if for a day or so.
The only way I would cook it is on a out door grill - It gets a nice burnt crust that way.
Also try it with chicken.........
