Lemon Pepper Pork Loin Sandwiches with Peach Aioli
- 1 (4-pound) pork loin
- 2 limes
- 2 lemons
- 5 to 6 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup Irvine Spices Roasted Garlic Pepper Seasoning, as needed for rub
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 2 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled, pit removed and sliced, or 1 cup drained canned peaches
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped, plus 12 small sprigs for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 12 Kaiser rolls, or crispy crusted round rolls
- Early in the day prepare the pork loin and marinade.
- Rinse pork loin to remove any unwanted smells and pat dry with paper toweling.
- Remove pork to a nonreactive container.
- Place the limes and lemons in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the essential oils in the skin are released.
- Since these will be hot coming from the microwave, you will need to set them aside briefly, until they cool just enough to handle.
- Blend the garlic cloves and the garlic pepper seasoning in a blender, then while the blender is still running, squeeze the juice of the limes and lemons through the feed tube to make a paste.
- With the blender still running, add the oil in a thin stream.
- Rub the paste into the pork, cover and leave refrigerated for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saute pan with an oven safe handle, heat the oil and sear the pork loin on all sides.
- Roast covered in oven until fork tender, at least 45 minutes.
- Transfer pork to a utility platter and let rest in a warm place before slicing.
- The pork can also be cooked on the grill.
- Heat grill to medium-high heat.
- Wrap pork in a foil pouch in which you have shaken 1 tablespoon flour, and cook over indirect heat (on the side of the grill opposite the direct heat source) for about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
- Let pork rest before slicing.
- While the pork is cooking, prepare the aioli.
- Add peaches, mayonnaise, and cilantro to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Season with salt and white pepper, to taste.
- Lay slices of pork loin on rolls and spoon peach aioli over.
- Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
