sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika (I like smoky)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
3 lbs pork sirloin roast (bone in, the roast should have a fair amount of fat on top)
2 -3 crusty French baguettes, sliced lengthwise
salt

Tips:

  • If you're using a pork shoulder roast, cook it low and slow. This will help break down the connective tissue and make the meat fall apart tender.
