Spicy Pork Po Boys image

I frequently find ground pork in my grocery store for quite a bit less than ground beef or turkey. This is a quick recipe that gives me a unique way to make use of my bargain. From Food and Wine.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lbs ground pork
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 medium kosher dill pickles, very finely chopped
1/2 small shallot, minced
four 8-inch soft French baguette, split
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan. In a large bowl, using your hands, mix the ground pork with the paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the pork into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties. Grill the pork patties over moderate heat, turning once, until they are cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the Dijon mustard, pickles and shallot and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the baguettes.
  • Place 3 pork patties on the bottom of each baguette and top with the lettuce, tomato and a few splashes of hot sauce. Close the sandwiches and serve.
