This spicy pork roast is a family favorite from Louisiana’s own Chef Paul Prudhomme. We are grateful to Chef Paul for popularizing our Cajun and Creole cooking, culture and traditions. I hope that you will enjoy this spicy Cajun pork roast as much as we do. It’s great to serve at family gatherings and the leftovers are perfect for sandwiches the next day.
