Tried this with pork tenderloin in the rotisserie and it was great. Didn't change a thing and meat was so tender and juicy. Will be making it again.

I can't tell you how fantastic this tasted!!! I used my outdoor rotisserie to cook it...and did add about 1 tsp of kosher salt to the rub as we do not have problems with salt in our family. The results were outstanding! Even my 9 yo daughter asked me to make her a sandwich with it for tomorrow's school lunch. I think we may have fights over the leftovers ;-) Into my permanant cookbook it goes. ~~~~ Update: I've made this about 5 times now and still love it. For smaller meals I use 2 very thick cut pork loin chops and then cut them in thin slices. This is a real crowd pleaser!

Well we really enjoyed this one. My Dad follows a renal diet and it is so great to be able to make a worry free and delicious meal for him! I roasted this on the barbeque, and used Scotch Bonnet Peppers. It had a good zing, but not too hot for us. It would have been great without the peppers too! Thanks for a great recipe!
