Pork Loin Sliders
Makes 12
-1 pork loin
If you want to save time, buy a loin already in a marinade, which is what I did. You’re already cooking a lot. Save yourself some time. I bought a loin with garlic and black pepper. Thank you Trader Joes.
-12 buns
-1 cup of jam or preserves of choice (I used apricot, cranberry or fig works too)
Rosemary Mayo:
-2 tablespoons mayo
-2 Greek yogurt
-1 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
-½ teaspoon Worcestershire
-1 tablespoon fresh green onions, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook for 28-30 minutes. When you have fifteen minutes remaining, pull pork out. Carefully slice a slit right down the middle of the pork. Spoon the jam into the center. Return to oven and cook for the remaining fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the spread by adding all of the ingredients into a bowl and mixing.
Remove pork, cover with foil and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Throw buns into the oven to warm up.
To assemble, slice pork into ¼ inch pieces, spread mayo on the toasted buns and place pork inside.
