I know it’s not Sunday, but this is a Sunday kind of dish! Pork loin roasts have a tendency to be dry. Pork is a more delicate meat than one would think. Trust me, I’m from Iowa!
This rub helps keep the juices in and give some hearty flavor!
My thought is that “Sunday” dishes don’t need to be served to Sunday. With that thought, take a listen to “A Sunday Kind of Love” that can be any day of the week. It is sung by Etta James who has that distinctive and powerful voice!
