This recipe's specially seasoned rub gives tender juicy pork a slightly spicy flavor. You'll watch in delight as these delicious sandwiches disappear from your buffet table! I also like to prepare these for weekend lunches. Ingredients:
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each), trimmed |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
3 tablespoons paprika |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
2 teaspoons dried thyme |
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
36 french bread slices or mini buns |
butter |
lettuce leaves |
thin slivers of green and sweet red pepper |
Directions:
1. Place tenderloins in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Rub each with 1 teaspoon oil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, pepper, salt if desired, cumin, nutmeg and cayenne; pat over tenderloins. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes; thinly slice. Spread bread or buns with butter or mayonnaise; top with lettuce, pork and green and red pepper. Yield: 3 dozen.
