6 brioche hamburger buns
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, for garnish


Directions
Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan fitted
with a rack insert. Place the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika, thyme leaves,
garlic, vinegar, and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until well combined.
Add extra-virgin olive oil until you have a nice paste. Rub all over the pork,
being sure to get into the nooks so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out
the moisture - this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked. Cover the
pork with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up
to overnight.

Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat

the oven to 325 degrees F.

Roast the pork for 3 1/2 hours, uncovered, until the outside is crispy-brown (it
should look like mahogany). Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes
before slicing.

While the pork is cooking, prepare the slaw. Combine the mustard, mayonnaise, sour
cream, lemon juice, vinegar and sugar. Mix well and add finely sliced savoy
cabbage, purple cabbage, green onions and carrots. Season with salt and pepper, to
taste, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator until you are
ready to serve.

To serve, cut the brioche buns in half and pile up some sliced pork. Top with a
large spoonful of coleslaw and place the top half of the bun on top. Garnish with
