Ingredients
Method
Tangy Slaw
- Shred carrots and green cabbage, you can do this by hand, with a box grater, or with an attachment on a food processor.
- In a medium bowl combine, carrots, green cabbage, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, basil, sugar, and mix to evenly coat.
- Once fully combined add olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate until ready to assemble. Though not necessary, this slaw can be made a couple of hours ahead of time and would allow the flavors to meld.
Peppercorn Sauce
- Melt butter over medium heat in a medium frying pan. Add shallots and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add in garlic and peppercorns and cook until fragrant and the edges of the garlic begin to lightly brown, about 1 - 2 minutes.
- Add in Worcestershire and beef stock and stir to fully combine, making sure you scrape down the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Pour in heavy cream and add salt to taste.
- Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat so the mixture is at a simmer.
- Cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens. It should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and set aside until ready to assemble.
Roasted Pork
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix together olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a brush spread the mixture over the pork loin.
- Place the meat onto a meat rack, or you can use 3 celery stalks placed perpendicular to the length of the pork.
- Roast until the internal temperature is between 145 - 160 degrees F, which should take about 20-25 per pound of pork.
- Remove from oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes, before slicing into 1/4" thick slices.
Pork Sausages
- Cook sausages according to directions on the package.
Assembly
- Toast pita bread. I like to toast mine on the open flame of my gas stove, however, you can grill them or just lightly toast them in the oven or a pan.
- Place 3-4 slices of the roasted pork in the middle of the pita bread.
- Place sausage on top of roast pork.
- Add about 1/3 of a cup of slaw on top of the sausage.
- Top with a generous drizzle of the peppercorn sauce.
Notes
(Pork Sausages) I have been trying to find the perfect pork sausage for this recipe. On my deep searches of the internet I read they use a Portuguese sausage in the park. When I first created this recipe I used the 'Silva Liguica Portuguese Sausage' that I found out my local Target. While the flavor was accurate I did find it to be quite a bit tougher than the sausage at the park. If you are going for an authentic Ronto Wrap, I would still highly recommend using this sausage if you can find it near year. I also only used two of these sausages and cut them in half because they were so large.
You easily can use a mild pork sausage in this recipe, or even chorizo. It depends on whatever you can locally find, or what type you perfer.
