SHAVED PORK LOIN SANDWICH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Serves 6

2- pound boneless pork loin roast
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large yellow onions, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup apple or currant jelly
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
8 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted
 

Cooking Directions

Combine basil, oregano, salt, pepper and paprika. Rub mixture on all surfaces of the pork roast.

Place roast in shallow pan and roast in a 350 degree F. oven for 40-50 minutes until internal temperature registers 155 degrees F. (measured with a meat thermometer). Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil and cook onion rings over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender and golden.

Stir in chili sauce, jelly and vinegar. Cook and stir 10 minutes more. Set aside.

Thinly slice pork roast; stack on toasted roll halves. Top with caramelized onions and top of rolls.

Serving Suggestions
Cooking the onions slowly over medium heat brings out the natural sweetness and gives these sandwiches a rich flavor.
