2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 cups chicken stock

1
In a bowl combine cumin, lemon pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt, pepper and oregano. Mix well until combined. Set aside.
2
Take the pork out of the net (if it is in one) and unroll on a flat surface. Liberally sprinkle the inside of the unrolled roast with the seasoning mix. Roll back up.

Liberally sprinkle the outside of the roast with the seasoning and place into a large crock pot set on medium for eight hours.
