This amazing Moroccan-spiced pork recipe is actually adapted from a classic technique for roasting leg of lamb. While this spice-rub is incredible with either, by using this approach instead, we’re not only saving a few dollars, but it’s also a proven scientific fact that your average holiday dinner guest (American, at least) is more likely to prefer roast pork to the slightly more exotic lamb.

This was INSANELY delicious! I made a really good recipe the week before and then this and my sister shrieked "HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?!" ;'D It was a great compliment. I would say the pan drippings were SO good that I would put an even higher quantity of potatoes & carrots in bc they were in high demand.
should I put some water in the pan cause im putting potatoes, onions and carrots around it.?
I hope you realize Moroccans don’t est pork, but ok, it’s the spice mixture. 😋
Looks good. Going to make this tonight. Was wondering what to do with my pork tenderloin for a change.
Just made this recipe for dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious and easy to make. I have enough for leftovers.
Just made this. Super easy and super tasty. There was none left. I should have made two!
Just found this and cant believe how easy yet crazy yummy this is!!!! Thank you for another great recipe!! I will make this again and again cause we did enjoy
Does Moroccan food have pork?
Pork is not used in the Moroccan cuisine since it's an Islamic country, where consumption of pork is forbidden.
I made this tonight but had to modify it because I'm broke and used what I had already available in the kitchen! I used the basis of your technique, but added garlic powder, minced garlic,, onion powder, mayonnaise and a bit of soy sauce and olive oil in the marinade baste in addition to the seasonings you have in the recipe! Plus, I stuffed the inside with wild rice. The results were divine and my family loved it. I didn't have any potatoes, so I added green beans and great Northern beans with the carrots in the pan drippings. I'm calling it "Amerocco" Pork Loin Roast. Lol I will definitely be making this again!
Ok chef. Love your recipes and this blog , but WTH is an Anaheim Chile and can it be substituted with anything else?
I tried this today with a pork that I've had unthawed for two days lol. It was boned in so I wasn't able to butterfly it. Put it in a slow cooker overnight with some water.
IN MOROCCO WE DO NOT EAT PORK.
While I suspect this is, as usual, delicious, I will go out on a limb and bet that there is no chance a pork dish will be served in Morocco.
chef john wins youtube, again.
I admittedly haven't made this yet myself, but a friend of mine asked today for ideas of what to do with pork loin, and I sent them this video to rave reviews once the roast was finished!
I made this and it was awesome.
Change the title, this is offensive.
Edit: 6/29 The flavor was amazing! I overcooked the roast, so next time I will be sure to check it as it's cooking. The potatoes, carrots and onions were out of this world! The meat was okay, just really dry! : (
6/28 So I have this in the oven right now. The salt was very very scary for me…even after sitting out for 35+ mins…the salt was still visible. I patted it dry like the directions tell me to do, but it didn't rid any of the salt. I didn't have any problems with the spread…it went on beautifully. I'll update tomorrow to let you know how it came out! I'm so nervous about the salt now because his salt on the pork is not visible like mine was. 😳 sweat sweat sweat sweat
Omg culinary cleavage, I was NOT ready
Making this soon.
Hmm, nobody noticed that Moroccans don't eat pork ? They're Arabs. Unless he's talking about the spices…
I really want to try this, but I'm absurdly resentful that you reminded me about the existence of Crazy Town and their awful, awful "Butterfly," I always lose my appetite by the end of this video. 😂
I wouldn’t think they’d eat pork in Morocco
If you're "scared" of butterflying a pork loin, can't you ask a butcher to do it for you? Or do they not offer that kind of service any more?
What a great meal. Tons of flavor and quite easy to prep. Great job John.
I love your voice lol
