• In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is syrupy and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Roast the pork for 5 minutes. Brush all over with 1/3 of the balsamic reduction. Roast 5 minutes more, and brush with remaining balsamic mixture. Roast until the temperature registers 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes more. Remove from pan. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• In a freezer bag or a non-reactive 13x9 glass baking dish, combine buttermilk, cayenne, black pepper and Kosher salt.
• Place a loin chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a gallon size freezer bag. Using a SMOOTH meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound the meat until it is 1/8 in thick. Repeat with remaining loin chops.
• Place the 1/2 cup of self rising flour in a paper plate. Dredge each pounded chop in the flour and pat off excess leaving a very thin coating. Place each floured chop in the buttermilk. Cover and marinate in the fridge 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat over to 400 degrees.
• Mix 1 hot and spicy Shake Bake packet with the 1/2 cup of Panko crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs) on a paper plate.
• Pull marinating chops from the fridge. One by one, allow as much of the excess marinade to drip off as possible. Dredge chops in the Shake and Bake/Panko crumbs. Place chops on a baking/cooling rack, or a sheet pan, that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place chops in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop bread and butter pickles and mix with the mayonnaise. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo on each side of the buns.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 4 even pieces. Cut each piece crosswise again, but do not go all the way through; you should be able to open it like a book. Pound each piece with a mallet until 1/4-inch thick and 6 to 8 inches across.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Add the pork cutlets. Make sure all the pieces are coated well with the buttermilk marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: the flour in the first dish, eggs in the second and breadcrumbs in the third. Sprinkle all 3 dishes with salt and pepper.
• Fill a large, high-sided skillet with about 1/2-inch oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour first, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Gently place into the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet. You will need to fry the cutlets in batches. When the cutlets are golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, carefully turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Build the sandwiches by putting the cutlets between the burger buns and garnishing with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. The cutlet should hang generously over the bun.

• To assemble sandwiches: Thinly slice meat on an angle. Place ham and Swiss cheese on a serving plate, separating and fluffing up the shaved meat and cheese. Assemble sandwiches with desired fillings and place on a hot, buttered griddle. Use a heavy pan to press the sandwiches together. Toast until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.
• Combine chopped pickles, sweet red pepper relish and scallions in a small bowl.
• Spread the relish on the tops of the rolls and pork slices, ham, and swiss cheese on the bottoms. Press the sandwiches together. Put about 1 tablespoon of butter on the hot griddle and spread to coat. Put 2 sandwiches at a time on the griddle, and top with a heavy cast-iron skillet. Toast sandwiches on the griddle, turning once, until golden, hot, and cheese is melted, 2 or 3 minutes per side.
• Serve with a few slices of plantains per person as a side dish. Frozen Mojitos Slushes make a great drink or dessert.
• In a blender, combine 1/2 pint sorbet or 1/2 can of lime aid with 4 shots of rum, 1/4 cup mint leaves and 1/2 tray of ice. Pulse, then blend on high until lime-mint slush is smooth. Pour drinks into 2 large cocktail glasses using a long handled spoon and repeat with remaining ingredients.
