Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 loaf ciabatta, preferably whole-wheat, halved and cut into 6 pieces

  • 6 slices provolone cheese

  • 1 cup prepared giardiniera

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Place pork on a baking sheet and rub with oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and pepper.

  3. Roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  4. Remove some of the bread from the inside of each piece of ciabatta top. Arrange all the ciabatta pieces on a baking sheet. Divide the pork slices evenly among the sandwich bottoms; top each with a slice of provolone. Bake until the tops are lightly toasted and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide giardiniera among the sandwich bottoms and cover with the tops.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
