Instructions
- Special Equipment: Butcher's twineIn a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, Hawaiian salt, paprika, cumin, coriander and black pepper. Cut the pork into 4 equal portions, then tie each cut with some butcher's twine. Lightly sprinkle each piece with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear each cut of pork on all sides, then transfer them to a plate.
