Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Place the pork roast in a baking dish and score the fatty surface with a sharp knife.
3. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the roast, ensuring it gets into the scored areas. Sprinkle with dried coriander.
4. Roast for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue cooking for another 15 minutes. If not using the glaze, cook for a total of 55 to 60 minutes at 350°F.
5. While the roast cooks, whisk together the water, olive oil, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
6. After 15 minutes at 350°F, remove the roast and brush with the glaze. Return to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer reads 150°F, about 40 to 45 minutes.
7. Let the roast rest before carving and serving.
