Ingredients

  • 3 lbs pork sirloin roast (bone in, the roast should have a fair amount of fat on top)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons paprika (I like smokey)
  • 3 – 4 cloves garlic
  • sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 2 – 3 crusty French baguettes, sliced lengthwise
  • salt

Directions

1

Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt.

2

Once creamy, add paprika, thyme, oregano and oil, and combine well.

3

Rub roast all over with this mixture and put, uncovered, in a 350°F preheated oven.

4

Bake 3 – 4 hours, or until cooked through.

5

Remove from oven and allow to stand 15 minutes before slicing.

6

Slice into very thin slices, and serve on crusty baguettes, lightly salted.
