Pork Salad Pita Sandwiches

Ingredients

Pork Salad

  • 1lb/454g of boneless pork chops
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of canola oil
  • 12 roughly chopped Kalamata olives with the seeds removed
  • 2 stalks of sliced green onions
  • 3 tablespoons of sour cream
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/4 a teaspoon of garlic powder

Pita Sandwich

  • 2 thick pita breads cut in half
  • 1 Sliced tomato
  • 2 small cucumbers sliced lengthwise
  • Some Basil pesto to taste
  • Some leaves of Boston lettuce

Directions

  1. Set a large pan on medium-high heat, and sear the pork chops in canola oil for 3m each side. Salt & Pepper the pork and let rest for 10m.
  2. Mix all the pork salad ingredients in a large bowl
  3. Dice the pork chops and mix it in with the salad bowl
  4. Spread the pesto inside the pita halves as you would butter or mayonnaise, put a base layer of lettuce, add the pork salad mix and finish with the tomato slices and cucumbers on top.

Notes

  • Thick pitas are preferable for this recipe as thinner ones will tear more easily in sandwich form
  • You can cut off the pork fat and absorb the extra grease with paper towels in step 3 to reduce calories and greasiness
