Scottish baked pork sandwich

Ingredients

• a piece of pork from a shoulder blade weighing about 2 kg
• 1 Art. l. salt
• 1/2 st. l. ground black pepper
• 1/2 st. l. ground dried herbs
• 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
• round soft sandwich buns for serving
• 4 juicy, delicious sweet and sour apples
• a pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• pinch ground cardamom (optional)
• 50 ml water or apple juice

Cooking

Step 1

We rub the pork with salt, pepper and dried herbs and leave it for at least an hour (or a day in the refrigerator.) In a cast-iron brazier, heat the vegetable oil. On a high heat, fry a piece of pork on all sides until a golden crust forms, about 8 minutes. In the process of frying, we turn it over carefully, with cooking tongs. Cover with a lid and put in preheated to 150 ° C for 3 hours.

Step 2

Making apple sauce. We clean the apples, remove their cores. Cut the apples into large pieces and put in a small saucepan. Sprinkle apples with salt, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. At the bottom, pour some water or apple juice. Put on fire and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until apples are soft, 15-20 minutes. Mash the apples into a coarse puree with a crush.

Step 3

Remove the pork from the roaster and carefully cut into small pieces/fibers with two forks. Cut the buns into halves and lightly dry them in a toaster. Spread one half of the bun with applesauce.

Step 4

Place a generous portion of pork on top. Cover with the second half of the bun and serve as a main dish. Enjoy your meal!
