Dressed up roast pork loin sandwich with Swiss cheese, onion jam and horseradish aioli.
1 1/2 pounds boneless center cut pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Jam:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/16 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
6 hamburger buns
4 cups arugula, cleaned and dried
8 ounces Wisconsin Smoked Swiss or Smoked Gouda cheese, sliced
Preheat oven to 350 F. Place pork in small roasting pan. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast 50 to 60 minutes, until slightly pink in center.
Jam:
Combine sugar, vinegar and honey in medium saucepan. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Add onions and cook over medium heat until onions are tender and golden, and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Aioli:
Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, horseradish, cayenne pepper and olive oil
in small bowl. Set aside.
Final Preparation:
Toast buns. Thinly slice the pork. Spread both cut sides of buns with aioli, top bottom halves of buns with arugula, several slices of pork, jam and cheese. Serve warm.
