Main Ingredient
Pork
Serves
4
  • 1 pound boneless pork roast, sliced into stir-fry strips*
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 4 6-inch submarine sandwich rolls, split
  • 2/3 cup prepared pesto sauce
  • 2 whole roasted red peppers, drained and halved
  • 4 1-oz slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
Methods/steps

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add pork strips to pan and brown nicely, stir-frying, remove from heat. While pork cooks, spread mayonnaise on bottom half of rolls; spread pesto on top half of rolls. Broil briefly just to lightly brown. Divide pork strips onto four roll halves, top with pepper pieces and a slice of cheese. Broil just until cheese is bubbly. Top with remaining half of rolls.

*12 ounces of thinly sliced leftover cooked pork roast can be substitued for uncooked pork. If using leftover roast, delete oil in recipe.
