Cook long and slow in water - add cooked (tinned?) white beans, papprika and a few onions and garlic.

Long and slow....I would suggest apple juice or cider (no alcohol) instead of water....about 200-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 hours (covered)

Choose your spice/veggies according to your taste.

When done, shred the meat with two forks....pulled pork sandwiches

An addition of barbecue sauce mixed with the shredded pork is tasty....but I'm more of a purist.

Just a thought here.... could I roast the pork in the oven then make a sweet and spicy glaze for it then BBQ the pork so its nice and crispy??? None of the recipes on the internet are taking my fancy today.....

pork loin with mustard...got the recipie from a belgian neighbor in Jakarta...simply smother the meat with dijon mustard, wrap in foil and roast at medium/low heat. When done drain off the fat (now with dissolved mustard) into a mixing receptacle and whisk with a little cream; careful with temperatures so's the cream doesn't curdle. Arrange meat on serving plate and pour over the sauce. Not bad...

By the way...anyone able to find pork loin in a Thai wet market? I go and indicate the corresponding area on a human anatomy while making snorting sounds and just get a bunch of giggles...

I always prefer pork loin, bbq with a soy sauce-based marinade. Here's a sample recipe, which can be made more asian by adding grated ginger root. I usually cook this on an outdoor grill, but, this recipe is for indoor roasting.

Marinade:

1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

3 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon prepared mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon celery seed

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, celery seed, pepper, and garlic. Place pork loin roast in a large plastic resealable bag and pour marinade over pork loin. Seal and marinate in refrigerator for 4-6 hours (preferably overnight).

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Remove roast from bag, place in a roasting pan, and discard marinade. Roast pork loin at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes per lb, or until an internal temperature registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with a BBQ dipping sauce.
