Last winter as a part of promotion for POM Wonderful I came up with a recipe for delicious, light and decadent POMEGRANATE MOUSSE.
Ever since then I've been making Pomegranate Mousse and trying to find different ways of serving this decadent dessert.
I have to admit some of the tries were miss and some of them were a big hit....of course, I don't want to share with you my disappointments and failures......., but I love to share with you my success and victory.
Therefore today I will share with you my POMEGRANATE MOUSSE CANNOLI.
I am married to an Italian mama's boy so pasta is a frequent dinner companion at our house.
Lucky for me my husband came into this marriage with lots of family recipes and most of them are very good and easy to make.
This simple and easy to make RAVIOLI recipe comes from my husband's aunt Fortuna DeLuca. Aunt Fortuna lives in Villa Santa Lucia in Abruzzo, Italy and I couldn't be happier to pass her wonderful recipe onto my children.....and of course, you.
Last night my kids were moping around the house and complaining that we don't have anything yummy to eat cause mom was bored and raided the pantry while they were at school .
Tired of the dirty looks I have a feeling they knew who ate all the snacks they were throwing my way I decided to make a batch of their favorite cookieswithout fessing up about the lack of treats in the pantry we call Double Double (two kinds of chocolate chips and two kinds of nuts.
Last year I received a great cookbook called My Kind of Cooking by Linda Burgett.
Linda has a cooking blog called My Kind of Cooking and I won her book by visiting her and checking out her recipes.
I love her kind of cooking. Her recipes are simple, delicious and anybody can make them. My 14 year old budding chef already tried few recipes on his own with a great success.
Since I had the cookbook for few months now I thought it was time to try few recipes for myself.
Roasted Pork & Smoked Gouda Sandwich with Balsamic Slaw
Let me just start by telling you that I AM NOT A BIG SANDWICH LOVER.....ask anybody who knows me.....they'll vouch for me....
So why am I sharing a sandwich recipe/idea with you?
Well, the thing is late one night when nobody was home and my stomach reminded me that I skipped my dinner and it was too late to cook I had NO CHOICE, but to make a sandwich.....and this is what happened....this is how Roasted Pork & Smoked Gouda with Balsamic Slaw Sandwich was born.
As I said....NOT a sandwich person at all, but there is something about this concoction...this sandwich that I can't resist and I wouldn’t mind eating few times a week.
STEP 1: On a medium high heat reduce the Balsamic vinegar in half. Take it off the stove and let it cool down (quick cool down in the fridge will do the trick).
STEP 2: In a bowl mixed together shredded red cabbage with balsamic vinegar reduction. Let it rest in the fridge for 5-10minutes.
STEP 3: Spread mayo on bottom pieces of pumpernickel bread. Then put a layer of sliced pork and layer of smoked Gouda.
STEP 4: Take the slaw out of the fridge and place a generous portion on top of the Gouda.
STEP 5: Spread some Dijon mustard on the top bread slices and place on top of the slaw.
STEP 6: Cut in half and enjoy!
This makes 2 sandwiches.
