Pork (not) Roast

There is this good looking pork roast on sale at Safeway. I bought it even though I wasn't going to make another roast today.










So, I dissected it into ribs and chops plus a flat piece. I put the chops into the freezer and the other two in the oven.











A spice paste (garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, chili, thyme, oregano, brown sugar, salt, olive oil and coriander seeds) is rubbed on before going into a 450℉ convected oven for 20 minutes before finishing at 300℉ non-convected for 40 minutes. The flat piece is sliced thin. Most people seem to be into Southern BBQ and that is certainly great, but this is also good. The meat is juicy and tender but still have good bite to it, and the ribs are soft and smooth. This is not only tasty but take a lot less time.
