20 minutes

60 minutes

5 sandwiches

Ingredients
2 Large Oranges, zested & juiced
1 ½ Pounds Boneless Pork Ribs
2 TBSP Bouquet Garni, in a bag or tea ball
5 – 6 Cups Water
½ Cup Chopped Fresh Basil
½ Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
½ tsp Garlic Powder
1 TBSP Green Pepper Sauce
½ tsp Salt
3 TBSP Chopped Toasted Pecans
3 TBSP Shredded Romano Cheese
¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Olive Oil Spray
10 thinly sliced pieces Sour Dough Bread
10 thin slices of Small Tomatoes
5 Slices Smoke Provolone Cheese


Directions
1. With a micro-grater, zest the two large oranges. Measure out 1 ½ teaspoons of zest and set aside, with the remaining zest place in a small bowl. Squeeze the juice into the same bowl that has the zest.

2. In the Wolfgang Puck Bistro 4 quart Covered Saucepan W/ Pour Spouts, add the bowl of juice/zest, ribs and the bouquet garni. Add just enough water to cover the tops of the ribs. Over high heat bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow simmer, cover pan with lid and cook the pork until fork tender, about 50-60 minutes. While the pork is cooking, in the Cuisinart Mini Prep Food Processor add the basil, parsley, garlic, green pepper sauce, salt, pecans, cheese, oil and the 1 ½ teaspoons orange zest. Mix until well blended. Set a side.

3. When the pork is done cooking, drain the water from the saucepan. Take the ribs out of the pan and place on a platter. Let cool for 10 minutes then shred into coarse flakes. In a medium bowl, add the pork with the pesto, combine together. Preheat the Panini Grill.

4. Assembly of Panini’s: Lightly spray one side only of all 10 pieces of bread. This will be the side that gets toasted. Line up the bread, assembly style and on 5 slices of bread, add 2 slices of tomato and evenly divide the pork mixture on top of the tomato. Lay a slice of cheese on top of the pork and top that with the remaining bread. Oil side facing out! Toast in the Wolfgang Puck Panini Grill 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
