Korean BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich

September 7, 2011 by The Partial Ingredients

There is still time to celebrate summer with this spicy Korean BBQ pork. This recipe has all the elements of a good barbeque with the added seasoning of gochujang and Korean BBQ sauce. The sauces provide the perfect barbeque flavors of sweet, tangy, and savory. The pork is slow cooked for 8 hours so the meat should fall apart from the bone. Pork shoulder has turned into my favorite cut of pork simply because of the transformation it goes through after cooking it slowly. The pulled pork turned out really tender and easily shredded into a delicious BBQ sandwich. Topping with coleslaw is also a must for this recipe!

"Philly" Cheese Steak Sandwich

March 12, 2011 by The Partial Ingredients

I have been looking around for more good sandwich recipes and I decided to try a Philly cheese steak. Since I never actually had a Philly cheese steak, I picked a recipe from the internet that looked good without thinking much about it. I then ran the ingredients by John who has had a real Philly from one of the cult places in Philadelphia. He was a little surprised when I told him there would be green peppers and provolone in the sandwich. He was also pretty weirded out that I was using neither rib-eye steak or “steak-ums” (whatever that is).

Basically none of the ingredients were “right,” except maybe the sourdough roll. Cheese steak challenges aside, I thought the sandwich turned out great. The peppers, onions, and steak were good together.B Next time I might try making a more traditional Philly. I just don’t think I can ever go there with that cheese-wiz stuff.

Reuben Sandwich

February 7, 2011 by The Partial Ingredients

Since I have been craving some hot sandwiches, John recommended that we try Reubens. Then he told me that sauerkraut was involved and I got worried. The smell of sauerkraut is kind of intimidating. Then I tried it out of the jar and it wasn’t too good. John just spoons it out throws it on a hot dog and i’m just like ‘wow’.

I have also never tried pastrami before so this definitely was a whole group of new flavors. I like trying unfamiliar foods though so I decided to keep my mind open. The sauerkraut tasted a lot better after it had been drained and sauteed. It was actually really tasty on the sandwich since the dressing, rye, cheese, and meat were enhanced by its flavor. So, I will be using kraut again on reuben sandwiches for sure–but hot dogs? Noo way.

Prosciutto and Mozzarella Panini Sandwich with Fig Jam

February 5, 2011 by The Partial Ingredients

I had been wanting to try some different hot sandwiches for a while now. This sandwich is like the Italian version of a hot ham and cheese. I thought it turned out great and all the flavors tasted really good together. The smoky cured ham tasted great with the fruity sweetness of the fig jam. The crispy ciabatta roll and the melted mozzarella also provided a nice balance of textures. Next time, I would probably use a little bit less of the fig spread because it was quite sweet. I will be making this recipe again for sure!

Barbeque Pulled Pork Sandwich

January 18, 2011 by The Partial Ingredients

If you want a clean, tidy dinner this is probably not the recipe for you. Ending up with barbeque sauce all over was worth it though since this sandwich turned out very tasty. The sweet and tangy barbeque sauce was excellent with the pork. Slow cooking the meat allowed it to get very tender and easy to pull apart. The coleslaw was great with the sandwich, and after looking at some pictures I decided to put it right on the bun. I also baked some sweet potato fries that went very well with the flavors of the pulled pork.

Sourdough Tuna Melt

December 5, 2010 by The Partial Ingredients

It’s cold and raining outside and I thought a hot sandwich would be nice for this weather. You can use a lot of different breads for tuna melts, but I like sourdough the best. The melted sharp cheddar gives this sandwich a flavorful kick. I used a foreman grill which is great for making sandwiches but you can always melt them in a pan or with a panini grill.
