Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat your broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices. Add Italian breadcrumbs to a shallow dish. Pat pork dry with paper towels. Carefully slice into centre of each pork chop, parallel to the cutting board, slicing all the way through. (NOTE: You will have 4 chops for 2 ppl and 8 for 4 ppl) . Season with salt and pepper.
Coat pork chops all over with mayo. Working with one chop at a time, press into the Italian breadcrumbs to coat completely. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then pork. Pan-fry, until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. (NOTE: Cook in batches for 4 ppl, using 2 tbsp oil for each batch.) Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet.
Spoon marinara sauce over pork, then sprinkle with mozzarella. Broil in the middle of the oven, until cheese is golden-brown and pork is cooked through, 5-6 min.**
While pork broils, add peppers, garlic puree and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) to one side of another baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Broil in the bottom of the oven, until peppers are tender, 5-6 min. While peppers cook, halve rolls. When peppers are almost done, add rolls to the other side of the baking sheet, cut-side up. Broil, in the bottom of the oven until golden-brown, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
While the peppers broil, slice cucumber into 1/4-inch rounds. Thinly slice basil. Whisk together vinegar, 1 tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add cucumbers and spring mix, then toss to coat.
Top bottom rolls with peppers, breaded pork, basil, then top rolls. Divide sammies and salad between plates.

- Ease of prep:Ā Some found slicing the pork chops challenging and time-consuming; consider pre-slicing or using thinner cuts for easier preparation.
- Suggestions:Ā Try using chicken instead of pork for a different protein option; add pickled onions for extra crunch.
- Portions:Ā Several customers mentioned the sandwich was filling, though a few suggested adding an extra side dish.
- Texture:Ā Consider using ground pork or thinner cutlets for easier eating; some found the full pork chop too dense in sandwich form.
