Steps:

• Combine the salt, sugar, rum, cola, and honey until they are completely dissolved. Then, add the pork tenderloin and marinate in the refrigerator for 48 hours.
• Preheat a grill.
• Cut into 2-inch medallions and grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Warm water in a large pot over high heat. Add salt and stir to dissolve. Stir in brown sugar, orange, lemon, lime, cilantro, garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, fennel, coriander, and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Let brine simmer for 20 minutes.
• Fill a sink with ice water. Remove brine from heat and place pot into the sink. Cool, stirring, until brine reaches room temperature. Pour into a large plastic or glass vessel such as a 12-quart Cambro®. Add pork tenderloin pieces. Cover and let soak 6 hours to overnight.
• Remove loins from brine and rinse. Let rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes while you prep the grill. Preheat the grill for indirect heat at 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Place loins on cooler side of the grill and cook, rotating every 20 to 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers read 130 to 135 degrees F (54 to 57 degrees C), 35 to 40 minutes.
• Paint loins with vegetable oil and move over the direct heat side of the grill. Sear until golden brown all over and internal temperature just reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove loins from heat, place on a serving dish, and tent with foil. Let rest for about 5 minutes. Slice into 1/2- to 1-inch-thick medallions.

Steps:

• Fully submerge the pork belly in a pot of water, add the salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the pork belly is flaky and tender, 3 to 4 hours. Turn off the heat and drain.
• Heat peanut oil in a fryer or large pot to 350 degrees F. Gently place handfuls of the rendered pork belly into the fryer until golden crispiness, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Mix the mayonnaise and maple syrup in a bowl. Spread a hefty portion onto the bottom baguette halves, followed by a little squirt of the hot sauce. Top with a handful of chopped lettuce, a couple slices of dill pickles and the fried pork belly. Finish with another heavy drizzle of the mayonnaise-maple mixture. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Rinse and pat dry the pork butt. In a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the spice rub. Coat the pork completely with the spice mixture and rub it into meat. Put the roast into a roasting pan or a high sided casserole dish with a lid. Pour enough chicken stock into the pan to come about 1/2-inch up the sides. Cover the pan tightly with foil or lid and put in the oven. Roast the pork until meat is completely tender and pulls apart very easily, about 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before shredding the pork from the bone.
• For the Slaw: While the pork is roasting combine the cabbage with the carrots and onion in a large bowl. In small bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Slice the dinner rolls in half and put on a sheet pan to warm in a low oven. When ready to assemble the po' boys, put some shredded pork on bottom of each roll, top with some BBQ sauce and finish with a heaping spoonful of the slaw. Cover with the roll tops and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the brine:
• To make the brine: In a large container, add all of the ingredients and stir to combine. Submerse the pork chops in the brine and refrigerate for 3 days. After 3 days remove the chops from the brine, discarding the brine.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan. Roll the fat edge of each pork chop with the fennel pollen. Place porks chop gently on the preheated grill or grill pan. After 3 to 4 minutes rotate the chops 90 degrees to create lovely grill marks. Grill the chops for another 3 to 4 minutes and then turn over and repeat the process. If the chops seem to be burning move the chops to a cooler part of the grill to allow for longer cooking time without burning. Stand the chops up so the fat edge is in contact with the grill to crisp up the fat edge, this will also make the fennel pollen very aromatic. Remove the chops from the grill and let rest in a warm place before serving. The doneness of the meat should be about medium to medium well and very juicy. Serve with polenta.
• In a medium size saucepan, bring the milk, water and bay leaf to a boil. Season generously with salt, almost to the point of over seasoning. How do you know that you are there? TASTE IT! When it has reached a boil, slowly whisk in the polenta in small sprinkles. Once all of the polenta has been incorporated, reduce heat to medium and immediately switch over to stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook the polenta for 30 to 40 minutes, adding water if the polenta becomes too thick to loosen it up.
• When the polenta is thoroughly cooked, it should look creamy and not feel gritty on your tongue. Remove it from the heat and stir in the Parmigiano and mascarpone. Serve it immediately, or place a sheet of plastic wrap right on the surface of the polenta to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
• To reheat: Add a little water to the polenta and heat over low to medium heat stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Steps:

• In food processor or blender, combine the garlic, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, rum, sugar, and lime juice Process/blend until finely chopped, then drizzle in the oil, pulsing just to combine.Transfer the mixture to a small bowl.
• Put the pork in a large bowl and rub pork thoroughly with the marinade, Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight.
• Heat skillet over medium heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper and placve into the skillet. Sear until golden, about 3 minutes, then turn the pork over to sear the other side, turning again to completely sear all sides, about 3 minutes per side until well browned.
• Turn the heat down to low, add the remaining marinade to the pan and partly cover to finish cooking, about 5-6 minutes more. Cook until the internal temperature, using an instant-read thermometer inserted to the thickest part of the pork reads 155 degrees F.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carve the pork into 1/2 -inch-thick slices and serve.
