First of all, I have to say this is not the "other white meat." This is pastured pork from a small family farm in South Carolina, Sunny Cedars Farm, and it's amazing. You'll notice the rosy red color of the meat, and the flavor it imparts is wonderful. Do yourself a favor and buy pork just once at a local farm who raises their pigs on pasture, without antibiotics and added growth hormones ... I believe you will not be disappointed.
My husband came up with the spice blend himself and grilled this meal to perfection. I am so lucky!
Look at that rosy red meat
