I don't like the taste of pork so I used chicken breast instead. To keep it from drying out, I brushed the chicken breast with oil before slicing. I also cut the veggies matchstick size because it fit better in the baguette.

Delicious sandwich, good flavors. I had a lot of leftover chicken and veggies so I'm definitely eating this again. Maybe I'll try it with pork one day just to get the full flavor.

I kind of cheated and used some leftover pork roast (previously marinated in a blend of Italian dressing, cilantro, and garlic. This cut down my prep time. I made up for some of the original recipe's lost flavors by blending lime juice, garlic, cilantro, & (for lower calories plain no-fat yogurt into my mayo before slathering it on the broiled rolls...I'm notorious for my inability to follow recipes exactly (usually due to a laziness & frugalness that keeps me from getting ingredients I don't have so I also used some discounted coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage & carrots instead of slicing up carrots & daikon. Again, this shaved off some time, but the results were stil fabulous. Someday I may find out what the recipe was supposed to really taste like...but my version was delicious and a hit with my family of 8! Thanks Guy! I love Big Flavor!!!
I'm planning on using that sweet & sour sauce on garden cukes for something new...I think it'll be a hit!

I agree with Evelyn that the recipe should be rearanged such that you marinate the pork for 6 hours first. Then cool the veggies in pickling sauce for 30 minutes to overnight BEFORE preheating the grill to cook the pork.
However, these minor details do not take away from tthe fact that this is a tasty recipe & that Evelyn should ALWAYS read the entire recipe before beginning to cook.
I will definitely make this again!

There is nothing subtle at all about this recipe. It's easy to understand and if you plan ahead just a little, nice results. It's not a 30 minute meal and if you like to cook, it's fun. If you don't like to cook or don't have the time, this recipe is not for you, just don't overcook the pork.

The recipe is written in an odd way. They talk about marinating and pickling in such a subtle way, it's easy to think you can just throw this together. Also, you end up with more pickled veg than you need, and less pork than you want. It's completely delicious though and easy enough if you have the time and know how to cook a pork t-loin.
