Pulled pork, cheddar and bacon sandwich
Estimated preparation time: 20 minutes
Kitchen tools needed
A kitchen knife
A cutting board
A frying pan
Ingredients
8 slices of white bread
2 cups cooked pulled pork (using leftover pork tenderloin)
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced vegetables (salad, tomato, cucumber - as desired)
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard or old-fashioned mustard
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of honey
Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar and honey to prepare your sauce.
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add the pulled pork and a tablespoon of the sauce you prepared, stirring until heated through. Remove from heat.
On each slice of bread, spread a spoonful of the sauce you have prepared.
Add a layer of hot pulled pork, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar and sliced red onion.
If desired, add sliced vegetables to taste.
Sprinkle each sandwich with salt and ground black pepper.
Fill the sandwich with another slice of bread.
Cut the sandwich in half for the perfect presentation and serve immediately.
The combination of these flavors creates a balance of salty, smoky, sweet and tangy, delivering a dynamic and complex taste experience. Each ingredient contributes to the overall flavor palette of the sandwich, creating a delectable combination that will tantalize the taste buds and satisfy lovers of savory cuisine.
Anti-waste
Make use of leftover vegetables: In addition to red onions and vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, and cucumber, you can also use other vegetables that might be left out in your fridge. For example, you can add sliced peppers, pickle rings, or even leftover cooked vegetables like grilled zucchini or shredded carrots. This will add variety and allow the vegetables to be used before they go to waste.
Turn leftovers into another meal: If you end up with more pulled pork than you need for sandwiches, you can use it to make other dishes. For example, you can add it to tacos, quesadillas, or even a salad for a light alternative. Pulled pork can be refrigerated or frozen for later use, allowing you to enjoy it again without waste.
Don't let leftovers fade into oblivion, let them flourish in this delicious culinary creation. Succumb to the call of this irresistible sandwich and add a touch of lasting indulgence to your meal. You deserve to live a culinary experience that awakens your senses while taking care of our beautiful planet.
Bon appetit and bon voyage!
