Steps:

• For the pork loin: Start by seasoning the pork really well all over with the garlic salt, Cajun spice, and the brown sugar. Then using your hand, pat the pork with the oil. On the grill or grill pan and medium heat cook for 8 to 12 minutes, rotating every couple of minutes. After the pork is five minutes from done, add the barbeque sauce and rotate so that the sauce sticks.
• Remove and slice. Serve with Sauce.
• For the sauce: In large sauce pan add the oil, heat the oil just a little and add the garlic, shallots, jalapeno; saute for 2 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients. Mix well and bring to a low simmer until sauce is combined. Check the flavor and adjust the sweetness if you like.

Steps:

• Rub the pork loin with the dry rub. Be sure to cover the whole thing.
• Lay bacon slices out on a cutting board, overlapping about 1/4". Roll the pork loin over the bacon, making sure to roll the bacon up and around it.
• Meet the bacon slice ends together and secure each one with a toothpick. You may have to pull the bacon slightly to stretch it far enough for the ends to meet.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Sear the outside of the loin completely until the bacon is nicely browned.
• Meanwhile, preheat barbecue to 350°F, leaving the middle burners off. Place the pork loin over indirect heat on the barbecue. Rotate the roast every 10 minutes or so until pork is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 170°F, about 45-60 minutes.
• Let rest for 10 minutes, remove the toothpicks and slice.

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup rosemary leaves, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 5 garlic cloves, 8 sage leaves and 1 teaspoon of salt into a food processor bowl.
• Process until you have a fairly smooth paste.
• Lay out the pork loin fat side down.
• Cut along the top side of the"tail" and into the eye of the roast.
• Continue cutting in a sawing motion, unrolling the loin into a rectangle of more or less even thickness.
• Spread the entire top surface of the pork evenly with the herb paste.
• Starting with the side opposite the tail, roll the roast into a compact roll with a spiral of herb filling running through it.
• Tie the roast at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Set the meat into a round 5-quart casserole dish.
• Add the remaining rosemary sprigs, sage leaves, garlic and bay leaf.
• Pour in just enough water to cover the meat.
• Season the water lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook, turning the meat occasionally, until almost all of the water has evaporated and the meat begins to stick to the casserole, about 2 hours.
• Skim any foam off of the surface as needed.
• Pour off the fat remaining in the braising pan and pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Adjust the heat to very low.
• Cook, turning often, until the pork has a caramelized golden brown crust, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Let the meat rest for 20 minutes and then slice into 1/4" thick slices.
