Roast Pork Sandwiches With Sweet Peppers And Arugula Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Remove the netting or strings on pork roast, keeping them intact to use again. Combine rosemary, 3 cloves of garlic, parsley, 3 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper in a bowl. Slice open the pork roast and spread it with the oil and herb mixture. Roll up the pork and secure it with the netting or string. Rub outside of the roast with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan or baking dish and pour in water. Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours; add more water if necessary. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow the roast to rest 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve the pan juices.
• While the pork is resting, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir in 2 cloves chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Add spinach, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and lemon juice. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally.
• Cut the string on the roast and cut the pork into thin slices. Return the sliced pork to the reserved pan juices.
• Slice the sandwich rolls and sprinkle each roll with shredded Manchego cheese. Add pork slices to each sandwich, top with spinach, and serve.

Steps:

• Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for a minute, then add pork. Lightly brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove and cool.
• Enshroud in three layers of plastic wrap, creating a waterproof straitjacket.
• Put a trivet in a roomy pot and place pork on top. Cover with water and place a weight - like a small plate - on top to submerge it. Turn heat to low and bring water to between 170 and 180 degrees - well below a simmer. If a thermometer shows the water is hotter, add ice cubes or cold water. Poach 2 hours.
• While pork is cooking, put garlic in a small pot and cover with oil. Place over low heat and cook until soft but not colored, about one hour.
• Mix vinegar, sugar, chili, cinnamon, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns in a pot. Bring to boil over high heat. Boil 10 minutes, strain and discard spices.
• Remove garlic from oil, and purée it with the vinegar mixture in a blender until silky and loose. Add salt and coloring, if using, and blend again. Taste and add more salt, if needed, and coloring if the sauce is not stop-sign red. (This can be kept for up to 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.)
• Stick an instant-read thermometer in the center of the pork through the plastic. It should read 150 to 155 degrees. (If not, wrap with another layer of plastic and return to the pot.) Plunge the wrapped pork into an ice bath until chilled. (Once cold, the pork can be stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Unwrap pork, put it on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove, and generously coat the pork with the sauce. Return to oven and cook until glaze is dark and sticky sweet, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Thinly slice pork against the grain. Sprinkle each slice with Maldon salt. Put about 1/4 pound of pork, a tablespoon or more each of roast peppers and broccoli rabe into the rolls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice off the 4 long sides of each of the sweet potatoes so the potatoes are squared off and sit flat on a cutting board. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, about 5-inches-by-2-inches (you should get 3 planks per sweet potato). Combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove the sweet potato toasts to 2 plates.
• Divide the peppers among the toasts, then top with the steak. In a small bowl, toss the arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and dash of hot sauce, then distribute over the steak. Season each toast with salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the fennel, rosemary, oregano, garlic salt, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of pepper in a small bowl.
• Slice the pork tenderloins in half crosswise and rub evenly with the spice mixture. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the pork is cooked through and a thermometer inserted in the middle registers 140 degrees F, 18 to 20 minutes.
• To toast the ciabatta rolls, place a dry skillet on a medium heat until it is hot, about 5 minutes. Slice the rolls in half and place the rolls in the skillet cut-side down until they are toasted how you like them, 15 to 30 seconds. Set aside.
• Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to your desired thickness.
• Grate the garlic clove and combine it with the mayonnaise and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with black pepper.
• Add the arugula to a bowl, then drizzle over the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the balsamic vinegar and toss to combine.
• Generously spread the garlic mayonnaise on the tops and bottoms of the rolls. Place some pork slices on the bottom halves, then add slices of roasted red pepper and a generous amount of the arugula. Place the other halves of the rolls on top and serve.

Steps:

• Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and then cut about a five-inch hunk of bread for each sandwich. Lay sandwich inside-up and begin layering.
• First, add a couple of layers of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. I add a little more salt for the veggie sandwich, and just a tad for the carnivore's sandwich because it will have the natural saltiness of bacon, too. Pile a handful of arugula onto each sandwich, then crumble the goat cheese onto the arugula, dividing evenly between the two sandwiches. Lay the bacon on top, if using. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil from the roasted red peppers onto the top of the whole thing and lightly dust with black pepper.
• Close up those sandwiches, slice in half, and serve!
