Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup Calvados brandy
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste

4 double-cut pork loin chops, 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick (bone in)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 bunch fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup Calvados brandy
1 cup brown sauce, prepared or chicken broth
1/4 cup cider vinegar

In a shallow pan, pour marinade over pork chops and marinate for 1 hour.

Remove the meat from the marinade and drain off the excess. In a skillet over high heat, pan-sear the pork chops on both sides in butter and oil to seal in juices. Sprinkle with a handful of fresh chopped parsley and thyme; season with salt and pepper. They should be well browned on the outside and pink in the center. Transfer the pork chops to a roasting pan, place in a single layer and set aside.

In the same skillet, saute apples in a bit more butter and oil, add more parsley and thyme. Deglaze the pan with brandy. Pour in brown sauce and cider vinegar to create a pan sauce. Spoon the apple sauce over the pork chops. Sprinkle with more chopped herbs and salt and pepper.

Roast in a preheated 325 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the pork should read 155 degrees F.

2 boneless pork rump roasts, about 3 pounds each
3 tablespoons Hawaiian or coarse salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/2 cup guava jam, prepared
2 tablespoons Macadamia nut oil
1 teaspoon of water, plus 1/2 cup
10 banana leaves, wet
1 stalk sugar cane, split in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon all-natural liquid smoke flavoring

Season the pork roasts all over with salt and pepper. Prepare an outdoor barbecue by soaking mesquite wood chips in water and adding to the coals for added flavor. Sear the pork on the hot grill to lock in the natural juices. Whisk together guava jam, oil, and 1 teaspoon of water. Season with fresh cracked pepper. Rub the pork with guava paste. Set 2 wide pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Lay 5 banana leaves on each piece of foil in a crisscross pattern, then place the pork roasts on top. Fold the banana leaves up around the roasts to make a bundle. Insert a sugar cane spear through the banana leaves and into the pork to secure. Tent the foil over the roasts and seal 3 of the sides to form a pouch. Mix liquid smoke and remaining water together in a small bowl, pour it into the pouch. Close up the remaining edge of foil to lock in the moisture and flavor. Transfer back to the hot grill. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with the grill cover down. When the pork is cool enough to handle, shred using 2 forks.
