🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 cups Leftover roast pork
• 2 cups Chicken or pork stock
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 slices White sandwich bread
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. 1. Gather all your ingredients and make sure the leftover roast pork is sliced or shredded into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. 3. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.

4. 4. Gradually pour in the chicken or pork stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 3-4 minutes.

5. 5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

6. 6. Add the shredded or sliced pork to the gravy and allow it to heat through for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to coat the pork in the gravy.

7. 7. To assemble the sandwiches, place one slice of bread on a plate, spoon a generous amount of the pork and gravy mixture on top, and cover with a second slice of bread. For an open-faced sandwich, use just one slice of bread and spoon the mixture directly on top.

8. 8. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread and pork gravy mixture to create four sandwiches.

9. 9. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

10. 10. Serve immediately while hot, with any additional gravy drizzled over the top for an extra comforting meal.
