BBQ PORK PANINI SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the dry rub:
• Mix the rub ingredients together in a bowl.
• Place pork in a roasting dish. Pat the rub seasoning into pork to cover. (Reserve any remaining rub in a container fitted with lid for up to 6 months.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place roast pork into oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours. When cooked, tent roast with foil so juices will settle. Slice thin.
• Preheat your panini press.
• In a small bowl mix the butter and the garlic. Butter the sandwich bread.
• Divide the pork, pickles, cheese and barbecue sauce evenly between the bread.
• Place the sandwiches in the panini press and close the lid. Grill the sandwich until the bread is toasty and the cheese is melted. Slice on a diagonal and serve warm.

PORK LOIN & FIG PANINI WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• To make the panini, preheat an electric panini press to "panini" mode or medium-high heat according to the manufacturer's instructions. Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil. Place the slices, oiled side down, on a clean work surface. Sprinkle the cheese on 4 of the slices, then arrange the pork and spinach evenly on top. Spread 1 Tbs. spiced fig jam on each of the other bread slices and top each sandwich with one of the slices, oiled side up. Place 2 sandwiches on the preheated panini press and close the lid. Cook until the cheese is melted, about 6 minutes. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately with the sweet potato fries. Serves 4.

SPICY PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine onion, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, garlic, and Worcestershire in the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth.
• Pour a thin layer of marinade in the bottom of a medium rectangular glass or ceramic container so the bottom is completely covered. Place 4 pork chops in the bowl and cover in marinade. Add last 4 pork chops and pour in remaining marinade, ensuring all pork chops are coated. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Pour marinade and chops into a large saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine flour, onion soup mix, cayenne, garlic powder, and seasoned salt for batter in a small mixing bowl.
• Transfer boiled chops to a cutting board, softly pat with a paper towel to remove excess liquid, and coat with batter. Discard any remaining boiling liquid.
• Heat enough oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat that it fills the pan to 1/4 inch.
• Fry chops in the hot oil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; flip and continue to cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
