I like to serve these hearty sandwiches on Super Bowl Sunday along with a green salad, rice and beans. Everyone raves about the great combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground turkey or beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
pinch ground cloves
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
6 hard rolls, split
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded lettuce
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the pork, beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the ketchup, raisins, vinegar and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in almonds.
2. Hollow out the top and bottom of each roll, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. (Discard removed bread or save for another use.) Fill each roll with about 1/2 cup meat mixture. Top with cheese and lettuce; replace top of roll. Yield: 6 servings.
