    2 tablespoons dry ginger powder
    1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder

    1 tablespoon mustard powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoons cumin

    Make small slits and stuff a garlic clove in the slit (do this all over the roast).
    Rub the pork loin all over generously with olive oil then rub the roast all over with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup dry using your hands to rub in the spices (store the remaining rub tightly covered in a glass jar in refrigerator to use for the next time).
    Cover the roast with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
    Place roast in a foil-lined shallow roasting pan.
    Let the roast sit out at room temperature for a couple hours.

    Remove and cover with foil, let stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
    *NOTE* Store the remaining half of the spice rub in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
