Hot Pork Sandwiches With Swiss Food

OPEN-FACED HOT PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the pork in a roasting pan; season with salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes. Reduce heat 325 degrees F; roast 45-60 minutes more, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. When cooked, place the roast on a plate, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing. Drain the excess fat from the pan and set on the stovetop over medium-high. Whisk the stock and flour together in a bowl. Pour into the pan and bring to a simmer; simmer 5 minutes. Divide the bread slices among plates. Mound slices of the pork on top. Drizzle with the gravy and serve.

HAM, ROASTED PORK, AND SWISS CHEESE SANDWICH ON SWEET BREAD: MEDIANOCHE

Steps:

• Assemble the sandwich by slicing all the rolls and dividing the meat and cheese equally. Place the roasted pork, ham, and cheese slices on top of 1/2 of the roll. Place pickle slices on top. Spread mustard on the inside of the other half of the roll. Place the top half of the roll over the sandwich, to close. Spread butter on the outside of the top and bottom of the sandwich.
• Cook in a very hot cast-iron griddle, or electric flat top, until heated through and golden brown on the outside.

TOASTED CUBAN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, green onions, ground chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic basil spread, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir onions, red pepper flakes, and oregano in the hot oil until onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add half the jalapeno pepper rings and cook until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve remaining jalapeno rings.
• Spread each ciabatta roll with 1 tablespoon sweet hot mustard and 2 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise. Evenly divide the Swiss cheese slices, slices of pork loin, ham, dill pickles, and remaining jalapeno rings among the four sandwiches. Top with cooked onion mixture.
• Place sandwiches onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bread is toasted and warm, 4 to 5 minutes.

SECOND TIME AROUND -- HOT PORK SANDWICH WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Reheat leftover pork in microwave, stove-top or oven.
• Heat gravy slowly in small saucepan over low/med heat or in microwave at 50% power 3-4 minutes.
• Reheat leftover pork in microwave for 30 sec on high (micro. ovens vary).
• Place one slice of bread on dinner plate, then sliced pork.
• Ladle a little gravy over pork, then top with second slice of bread.
• Spoon mashed potatoes on the side.
• Ladle rest of gravy over both, or just on top of the sandwich.
• Enjoy!
• Note: I used the leftover pork roast stock, milk, flour, butter, salt and pepper to make the gravy. There is no recipe for the gravy.

SLOW-COOKER CUBAN PULLED-PORK PANINI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Pierce the pork roast all over with a small knife. Place the pork in the bottom of a large slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, oregano, cumin and House Seasoning. Pour the mixture over the pork and rub it into the meat, turning to evenly coat it. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours, until the pork is extremely tender.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Remove and discard the fat and use 2 forks to pull the pork into chunks. Use a large spoon to skim the fat from the surface of the liquids in the slow cooker. Return the pulled pork to the slow cooker and stir well. Taste the meat and adjust the seasoning, adding salt and pepper, if desired. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 15 to 30 minutes, so that the pork can further absorb the flavors of the cooking liquids while you prepare the sandwich ingredients.
• To assemble the sandwich, slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally. Spread a thin layer of mustard on the bottom half of the bread and then layer 1 package of the Swiss cheese, all of the pickle slices, all of the ham slices and a generous amount of pulled pork. Top the pork with the remaining 1 package of Swiss cheese and place the other half of the bread loaf on top of the Swiss cheese.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into approximately 6-inch (15-cm) lengths. Brush both sides of each sandwich with the melted butter and cook the sandwiches in a panini press or a hot skillet until the cheese melts and the exterior gets toasty. If you are cooking the sandwich in a hot skillet, cover the top of the sandwich with aluminum foil and place a heavy pot or cast iron skillet on top of the foil. Flip the sandwich once the bottom is toasted and toast the other side. Cut the sandwich into slices and serve hot.
