1 teaspoon onion powder
Freshly ground black pepper
One 3-pound double loin pork roast, tied together (each half is about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, smashed
One 4- to 6-inch stalk fresh rosemary
About 3 cups coconut milk

1
For the rub and pork: In a small bowl, mix the paprika, smoked salt, onion powder and a few grinds of pepper.
2
Rub the pork on all sides with the blend.
3
Let the pork rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
4
In a large Dutch oven on high heat, add the butter and olive oil.
5
Once it begins to swirl, add the pork and allow it to sit and sear to a deep golden brown, then rotate and repeat on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
6
Don't forget the ends!
7
For the pot: Add the apricots around the edges of the pork and cook while moving around for a minute.
8
Add the thyme, garlic, rosemary and enough coconut milk to reach three-quarters of the way up the sides of the loin.
9
Bring to a boil, then lower to a very low simmer and cover.
10
Cook for 1 hour, then flip the loin and cook until tender, another hour.
11
Remove the loin to a plate and cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch-thick slices.
12
For the gravy: Remove the herbs from the pot and raise the heat to reduce the coconut milk to a gravy consistency.
13
Taste and season with salt if needed.
14
Stir in the parsley and lime juice, and spoon over the pork slices.
