Ingredients
- 700g pork tenderloin (about 2 pieces)
- 300g mozzarella (sliced)
- 12 slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 large bunch of spinach
- 5 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ sprig of rosemary (chopped)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
- Marinate the Pork:
- In a bowl, mix ¾ of the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Clean the pork tenderloin by removing any excess fat or silver skin, and then coat it with the prepared marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Allow the pork to sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
- Grill the Pork:
- Prepare the grill by heating the coals until they are covered with a light layer of ash.
- Place the marinated pork on the oiled grill grate and cook for about 15 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. Remove the pork and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Prepare the Spinach:
- Remove the tough stems from the spinach.
- Heat a pan with a bit of olive oil and sauté the remaining minced garlic for 30 seconds. Add the spinach, season with salt and chili flakes, and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- On one slice of whole-grain bread, place several slices of the grilled pork, followed by sautéed spinach and thick slices of mozzarella.
- Top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
- Serve:
- Serve the BBQ pulled pork sandwiches hot, accompanied by your favorite sides like coleslaw or pickles. Enjoy!
