PORK LOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the salt and sugar in 8 cups of cold water. Add the black peppercorns and squeeze in 2 of the halved lemons. Submerge the pork in the brine for 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine and dry off. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sear each side of the loin until golden, about 8 minutes total -- keep turning until it's golden all over. Add the sliced onions to the pan alongside the pork, and stir around to coat the onions in fat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes. For even cooking, be sure to stir the onions once or twice during roasting.
• For the sandwich build: Butter the pretzel bun halves and griddle them until golden brown. With a sharp knife, slice the loin into thin shavings. Spread some mustard on the bottom half of each bun, then top with some sliced pork. Sprinkle the pork with a little salt and squeeze the remaining lemon halves over the top. Top with the roasted onions and some Pickled Fresno Peppers. Eat while standing.
• Bring the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the sugar, salt, bay leaf and garlic to a boil in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the peppers in a bowl or container. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• If using a gas grill, preheat to high on one side; put soaked wood chips in a smoker box. Once smoking, reduce the heat to maintain a temperature of 275 degrees F and cook the pork, covered, on the cooler side of the grill.
• Rub the pork
• Make the Neelys' go-to barbecue seasoning: Mix the paprika, sugar and onion powder in a bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons seasoning to a separate bowl, add 2 tablespoons salt and 3 tablespoons pepper, and massage onto the pork. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. (Reserve the remaining barbecue seasoning.)
• Prepare the wood chips: Soak 6 cups wood chips in water, about 15 minutes, then drain. Don't oversoak, or the wood will snuff out the fire.
• Light the grill: Fill a smoker or kettle grill with charcoal and light. (Pat uses lighter fluid; you can also use a chimney starter.) When the coals are mostly white, spread them out with tongs. Spread 1/2 cup of the wood chips over the coals (use 1 cup for a kettle grill). The temperature of the grill should be about 275 degrees F.
• Cook the pork: Place the pork fat-side down on a rack in the smoker or on the grill. Cover and cook, rotating the pork every hour or so, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F, about 6 hours total.
• Feed the grill: As the pork cooks, add more charcoal and wood chips to keep the temperature between 250 degrees F and 275 degrees F and to maintain the smoke level.
• Make the sauce: Meanwhile, mix the ketchup, 1 cup water, both sugars, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, the onion and mustard powders, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, corn syrup and 1 tablespoon of the reserved barbecue seasoning in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours. Let cool, then reheat on the grill when ready to use.
• Shred the pork: Transfer the pork to a rimmed baking sheet (you'll want to catch all the flavorful juices) and let stand until cool enough to handle. Shred into bite-size pieces, pile on a platter and pour any juices from the baking sheet on top.
• Make the sandwiches: Mound the pork on bun bottoms, paint with a little barbecue sauce, top with slaw and cover with the bun tops. The best sandwich ever!

ROAST PORK SANDWICHES WITH GARLIC MAYO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut off and discard top 1/2 inch of garlic head. Season garlic with salt, drizzle with oil, and wrap snugly in foil. Roast until tender when squeezed, 50 to 55 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss onion with just enough oil to coat, and roast on a rimmed baking sheet 40 to 45 minutes.
• When garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze from skin; lightly mash with a fork. Stir in mustard and mayonnaise.
• Raise heat to broil. Spread garlic mayonnaise on bottom halves of rolls; top with pork. Top remaining halves with vegetables, then cheese. Broil open-faced until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2 minutes, then sandwich rolls together.

BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Scatter the onions and bay leaves in the bottom of a large roasting tin. Mix the mustard powder, paprika and 1 tsp ground black pepper with a good pinch of salt. Rub this all over the pork, making sure you rub it into all the crevices. Place the pork, rind-side up, on top of the onions. Pour 200ml water into the bottom of the tin, wrap well with foil and bake for 4 hrs. This can be done up to 2 days ahead - simply cover the tray in foil and chill until ready to barbecue.
• Light the barbecue. In a bowl, mix the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Remove the pork from the tin and pat dry. Place the roasting tin on the hob, pour in the ketchup mixture and bubble vigorously for 10-15 mins until thick and glossy. Remove the bay leaves and pour the sauce into a food processor; blitz until smooth. Smear half the sauce mixture over the meat.
• Once the barbecue flames have died down, put on the pork, skin-side down. Cook for 15 mins until nicely charred, then flip over and cook for another 10 mins. The meat will be very tender, so be careful not to lose any between the bars. Alternatively, heat a combined oven-grill to high, place the pork on a baking tray and cook each side for 10-15 mins until nicely charred.
• Lift the pork onto a large plate or tray. Remove string and peel off the skin. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into chunky pieces. Add 3-4 tbsp of the barbecue sauce to the meat and toss everything well to coat. Pile into rolls and serve with extra sauce and a little coleslaw.

PULLED-PORK SANDWICHES WITH COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, vinegar, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Let coleslaw stand 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, combine barbecue sauce and pork. Cook over medium-high until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve pork on buns with coleslaw.

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.

PORK CHOP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix the flour and spices together for a dredge and place in a pie pan or similar flat vessel. I like mine spicy, so feel free to adjust the spices to fit your tastes.
• Place beaten eggs in second pie pan.
• Place breadcrumbs in third pie pan.
• Place chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until they are roughly 1/2" thick. I actually use my 48 needle meat tenderizer and dredge the chops in the flour/spice mixture prior to tenderizing to force some of the spices into the meat.
• Dredge chop in flour/spice mixture.
• Dip into beaten eggs, making sure both sides are well coated.
• Dredge in the breadcrumbs, thoroughly coating both sides.
• Place chop in pan, frying 3-4 minutes per side, until GBAD (golden brown and delicious).
• Drain briefly on paper towels or cake rack in a coookie sheet.
• Place on bun with condiments and garnishes of your choice. Traditional is yellow mustard, onion slice, tomato slice and lettuce. My brother likes applesauce, but then, he puts catsup on tacos, so what does he know? ;).

PORK & SLAW SANDWICHES

Steps:

• If you're eating lunch at home, gently heat the meat in a microwave for a few mins, or wrap in foil and bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 8 mins. If you're assembling packed lunches, there's no need to heat. Thinly slice the pork.
• Spread some mustard over the bun bottoms, then add the pork and a heap of slaw. Top with bun tops, wrap and keep cool until lunchtime or eat straight away.

ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE ROAST PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
• Sprinkle pork roast with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast for two hours or until temperature of center of pork registers 150-160 degrees (145 degrees is the new "safe" temp for pork.).
• Melt butter over roast while it is still in the roasting pan.
• Remove roast from pan, saving the drippings and juice.
• Add Au Jus mix and water to drippings and cook according to directions on package.
• Place bread in the oven (which has been turned off just after the roast is done) and let it crisp a bit. The heat will help to melt the cheese better than just the heat of the meat will.
• Let roast cool for about 10 minutes, then slice thinly.
• Pile pork and cheese on bread while meat is still hot.
• Serve with Au Jus dipping gravy on the side and LOTS o' napkins.

PHILLY STYLE ROAST PORK SANDWICH

• Add some water to all of the meat drippings and use this as your base for the pork au jus.
• Wash and trim the broccoli rabe removing any bad leaves and cutting off the stems, leaving only the leaves and flowers.
• Place the broccoli rabe into a pan with water and allow to boil until the broccoli rabe is tender. (do not use a full pot of water, use just enough to cook)
• Drain Broccoli rabe and saute in olive oil with chopped garlic, sea salt and pepper to taste.
• Wash peppers, and cut down the center removing all the seed and membranes.
• Slice the red peppers about 3/8 of an inch thick (1 cm)

• Reheat the sliced pork in the au jus you saved from the pan
• place slices of roast pork on kaiser roll, add provolone, broccoli rabe and roasted red peppers.
