There’s a new favorite panini in the house.
The only way to describe this combination is sweet, spicy, savory & fresh. It starts with a juicy, roast pork tenderloin sliced super thin. Throw some Fontina, fresh basil and some red hot blackberry mash into the mix and you’ve got yourself one delicious panini.
I followed this simple technique for roasting the pork to juicy perfection. Basically, you heat your oven to 500F, pop in your seasoned pork, cook EXACTLY 5 1/2 minutes per pound, turn off your oven and wait one hour. Stay with me. I know that sounds weird. I was skeptical too but it seriously was the best roasted pork tenderloin I’ve ever made.
While that cooked, I made my red hot blackberry smash: fresh blackberries, red pepper flakes and a touch of maple syrup. It’s so good I’m debating making another batch and cooking up some red hot blackberry mash french toast this weekend. You think I’m joking. Just wait.
One bite and this might be your new favorite panini too.
[gmc_recipe 10686]Have a great Wednesday everyone!
This looks amazing!! Was searching on Pinterest for pork tenderloin paninis and found your blog! I smoked four pork tenderloins last night for a house full of guests that never showed up and with the new panini press I have, I was looking for great sandwich ideas! I don’t have fresh blackberries but I bet I could improvise with blackberry jam I have sprinkled with red pepper flakes and smoked mozzarella instead of the fontina! Making this for lunch today!!
Oh wow that looks absolutely amazing!! Never would have thought to combine meat and fruit in a panini!
Wow!! If it wasn’t going to be another scorching hot day today, I would make this in a heartbeat!! I just need to wait for the temps to cool a bit before heating up the apartment with a 500 degree oven. I can’t wait to try this!!!
WOW. That looks awesome! I would love to try it with just the cheese and blackberries :)
wow that looks DELICIOUS! Thanks Elle!
That sandwich looks amazing & so gourmet! I’m a big fan of blackberries…actually have some wild blackberries I picked in my freezer now that I’m hoping to try my first homemade jam with soon!
This seriously sounds AH-mazing! I think it’s going on the meal plan for next week. ;)
