directions

Step 1

Cut pork loin into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices. In glass bowl, stir together mango juice, lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, oregano and pepper; add pork, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.

Step 2

Drain pork; place on greased grill over medium heat. Close lid and grill, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Step 3

Butter one side of each bread slice. In small bowl, whisk mayonnaise and mustard; spread on non-buttered side of bread slices and layer one slice each cheese and ham, two slices pickle, and few slices of pork between the bread slices.

Step 4

On greased grill over medium heat or using Panini press, grill sandwiches (buttered-side of sandwiches should be on the grill) until heated through, lightly charred, and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn once, if using grill.
