Curried Pork Sandwiches with Apple Slaw

Hellooooooo curry powder! Sometimes spices will sit in my spice drawer, untouched, unloved for so long and it's heart breaking. I try so many recipes that sometimes I get stuck in a spice rut. Cumin, chili powder, paprika repeat, repeat, repeat. It get's a tad mundane and I crave my unique spices, the ones that like to stand out, rosemary, dill and most of all curry powder. These guys know how to liven up a party. Come on and spice up my life! HA! Pun most definitely intended.


Ingredients:
  • 1lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 2 apples (I grated mine in a cheese grater to get it sliced so thin)
  • 1/4 red onion julienned 
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 7 oz plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp sombal oelek
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Hamburger buns

It's my husbands choice tonight and OF COURSE he goes jazzy with some good ole John Coltrane and one of his favorite seasonal songs. The whole song should take you the length it takes to make dinner! 



Directions:
  1. Combine your peanut butter, sambal, ginger, vinegar and soy sauce. Mix together well.
  2. In a medium sized bowl combine your yogurt, carrots, onion and apples. Stir until yogurt is coated over everything.
  3. Cut your pork tenderloin into medallions or 2-3 inch pieces. Sprinkle both sides of each piece with the curry powder. 
  4. Fry until no longer pink in the middle.
  5. While pork is frying spread some peanut butter mixture on one side of a hamburger bun, then top with slaw mix. There should be about 3 pieces of pork per sandwich. 
  6. Serve!
