Pressed Pepperoncini-Pork Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 12 oz crusty French bread, unsliced* 350 g
- 2/3 cup pepperoncini slices 150 mL
- 1 plum tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 60 mL
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil 20 mL
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cider vinegar 20 mL
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano 7 mL
- 1/4 tsp dried pepper flakes 1 mL
- Reserved pork from Pork Loin Chops with Sweet Balsamic Mushrooms**
- 3 slices ultra-thin sliced Swiss cheese, cut in half
Instructions
- 1. Hollow out top and bottom halves of bread, leaving a 1/2-inch (1-cm) thick shell.
- 2. Place the pork on the bottom half of the bread. In a bowl, combine pepperoncini, tomato, onion, garlic, canola oil, vinegar, oregano, and pepper flakes. Spoon pepperoncini mixture and any accumulated juices on top of the pork, and top with the cheese.
- 3. Cover with top half of loaf. Press down firmly to flatten the sandwich and allow the flavors and juices to absorb. Cut filled loaf crosswise into 4 equal pieces. (May cut each serving in half diagonally, if desired.)
