Ingredients
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups paprika
3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder
3 pound roast pork loin
4 tablespoon butter, room temperature
1 clove garlic, minced
4 French style sandwich rolls, sliced horizontally
Dill pickle slices
1/4 pound sliced colby Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Directions
- For the dry rub:
- Mix the rub ingredients together in a bowl.
- Place pork in a roasting dish. Pat the rub seasoning into pork to cover. (Reserve any remaining rub in a container fitted with lid for up to 6 months.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place roast pork into oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours. When cooked, tent roast with foil so juices will settle. Slice thin.
- Preheat your panini press.
- In a small bowl mix the butter and the garlic. Butter the sandwich bread.
- Divide the pork, pickles, cheese and barbecue sauce evenly between the bread.
- Place the sandwiches in the panini press and close the lid. Grill the sandwich until the bread is toasty and the cheese is melted. Slice on a diagonal and serve warm.
