- Yields:
-
2 sandwiches
- Serves:
- 2
ingredients
- 2 boneless pork chops
-
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons oregano
- 5 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- thinly sliced ham (can use spicy italian ham too)
- swiss cheese (thinly sliced)
- dill pickle
directions
- Butterfly the pork pieces and pound to 1/4 inch thin. (Do this between plastic wrap to keep splatter down).
- Mix Marinade (oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic and salt). The longer you can marinade the meat the better!
- Take pork out and open it wide. Layer Ham, Swiss Cheese and pickles. Close the pork 'sandwich'.
- Now you can either grill this or pan fry. I suggest grilled over charcoal!
- Enjoy! Serve with green chili refried beans for a delish meal!

This is a very unique and tasty dish. Definitely for garlic lovers only! I really liked the marinade and it paired well with the taste of the pickles and swiss. I marinated for about 3 hours and pan-fried the "sandwiches", although I think grilling would be great too. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Im a stay at home mom of 3 (ages 5, 4, and 3). I have a degree (BFA)from Virginia Commonwealth University in Interior Design. I enjoy cooking and learning everything I can about cooking.
I just moved to the country and really love it, especially as the leaves change. I have 2 boys and 1 girl.
My kids dont really appreciate my cooking yet, they would rather have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I know that someday they will and will also eat me out of house and home.
I look forward to that actually because a chef (ha ha ha) can only hear "EWWWW!" so many times before their self-esteem starts to suffer.
I battle through, learning as I go, awaiting the day I hear "Can I have some more?".
