Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Whole30 compliant)
- 0.5 cup pickles, sliced
- 0.25 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the coconut aminos, olive oil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, chopped rosemary, and salt.
Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin, making sure it is evenly coated.
Place the pork on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the sandwich fillings by washing and drying the romaine lettuce leaves.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard with apple cider vinegar to create a tangy sauce.
Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
To assemble the sandwiches, take a lettuce leaf and spread a small amount of the mustard sauce on it.
Add a few slices of the roasted pork, some apple slices, pickles, and red onion.
Fold the lettuce leaf to enclose the fillings, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.
Serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying Whole30 meal.
