1-2 Days before cooking, slice off any excess fat. Wash pork well. Dry. With small knife make deep cuts around the meat. Fold in bowl; all ingredients ( May adjust to taste or possibly size of pork) except oil. Grind with mortar and prestle or possibly use back of spoon if you do not have one. With clean finger, stuff holes in roast with spices. When done pour oil into leftover spices and rub over roast. Put in raosting pan and cover with foil. Let sit in refrigerator for 1-2 days. Do not worry it will not spoil, the spices keep it fresh.
On day which you will be cooking the roast remove from fridge and turn fatty side up. Cook 35 min per pound at 350@ . Make sure it is well cooked. Juices should be clear. Let sit a few min and slice.
Goes well with rice(of course!)
