Ingredients:

Serving

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup water
1 jar (7 oz) roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
sandwich:
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
1 tsp olive oil
8 slices sourdough bread
8 slices swiss cheese

Directions:

For relish, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring onion and water to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute; drain. Transfer to a bowl; add roasted peppers, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and cumin. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Discard garlic. (Relish can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
In a small bowl, mash the minced garlic, cumin and salt. Rub over tenderloin; place in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes; thinly slice pork.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Top four slices of bread with pork, desired amount of relish and two slices of cheese; top with remaining bread. Cook sandwiches for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Yield: 4 servings (2 cups relish).
