CALIFORNIA PORK SANDWICHES

Serves 5
• 10 slices sourdough bread • 4 tablespoons butter, softened • 10 large lettuce leaves • 2 large oranges, peeled and thinly sliced • 1 sweet red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips • 20 thin slices roast pork, about 1 pound • 2/3 cup sour cream • 2 teaspoons grated onion • 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt • 3-4 drops hot pepper sauce • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
Directions Spread bread slices with butter; top with 5 lettuce leaves.
Arrange orange slices on 5 lettuce-topped bread slices.
Top orange with red pepper, then roast pork. In small bowl stir together sour cream, onion, garlic salt and hot pepper sauce.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons sour cream sauce over pork layer on each sandwich; top with remaining lettuce leaves and buttered bread slices.
Garnish each plate with avocado slices.
Serving Suggestions This cool sandwich gives a great excuse for making a pork roast the night before. Thinly sliced pork is layered with sliced orange and red pepper and napped with a seasoned sour cream sauce. Slices of perfectly ripe avocado can be served alongside or on the sandwich.
