This is just the best ever. Now I make two recipes for this my beer bread which makes this. However a good pumpernickle will work ok. Personally the Guinness Beer bread which is so easy to make is not only good for this ... but makes great slices of bread with just about anything. I love leftover pork. Now if I am cooking pork loin for dinner especially on the grill... why not make 2? I do it all the time. Just slice and bag up. An apple, onion and some herbed cheese makes this great and then topped with gruere or swiss, either or. How could you possibly top this sandwich. This is football Sunday Heaven and a winner with everyone I serve it too. Ingredients:
3 cups self rising flour (is using all purpose you need to add 1 tablespoon of baking powder) |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 pinch salt |
1 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1 (12 ounce) can guinness stout |
1 onion, cut in half and thin sliced (medium) |
1 granny smith apple, diced |
1/2 teaspoon honey |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 pinch nutmeg |
16 slices pork (3 or so per sandwich) |
8 slices gruyere cheese or 8 slices swiss cheese |
4 ounces boursin cheese, and or 4 ounces any brand herbed cheese |
butter, to grill the sandwiches |
Directions:
1. Beer bread, make ahead a day or so. It is the easiest breast and so easy. Besides you can actually buy a single can of guinness at almost every grocery store or liquor store. Me, I get a 4 pk and drink the rest.
2. Basic Beer Bread - 3 cups all purpose flour (important - all purpose),1/4 cup sugar, 1 - 12 oz beer (guinness) dash of salt, seasoning - I like 1 teaspoon dried rosemary for this bread. Mix well and the bake in a seasoned and floured loaf pan. Bake 45-50 at 375.
3. Onions and apples - I melt 1 teaspoon of butter in saute pan, add the onions and apples and cook until tender. About 3 minutes is all. Done. Just remove to the side.
4. Pork - For the pork, use leftover, pork chops, or tenderloin sliced or even, roast pork just from the deli. Don't worry, anything will work just fine.
5. Sandwich time - Slice up the beer bread already made. Top with the boursin or herbed cheese, then slices of pork, cheese slice, then the apple and onion mixture and cheese, then another slice of the beer bread also spread with the boursin cheese. Just spread on butter on both sides and grill. Grill until nicely toasted and melted. Enjoy!
