Celebrate our Nation’s Birthday with this Great Canada Day Recipe

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate Canada’s birthday than with a picnic at the park with friends and family. To make your Canada Day extra special, we wanted to share our favourite Canada Day Peameal Sandwich inspired by The Food Network.

Ingredients:

3 lb. (1.4 kg) whole peameal pork loin
1 cup (250 mL) good quality tomato salsa
7/10 cup (150 mL) brown sugar
½ cup (125 mL) white vinegar
6 kaiser rolls

Spicy Slaw

3 tbsp (45 mL) fresh lime juice
1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
tsp (10 mL) sugar
tsp (10 mL) freshly grated ginger
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
6 tbsp (90 mL) extra virgin olive oil
5 cup (1.25 L) grated red cabbage
¾ cup (175 mL) chopped green onion

Peameal Sandwiches

1. Preheat grill to medium and place whole peameal loin on grill. Cook covered, rotating and turning, until centre of peameal reaches a temperature of 160 F, about 75 minutes.

2. While peameal is cooking, purée salsa, brown sugar and vinegar and simmer in a saucepot until glaze consistency. Brush half the glaze onto peameal during last 15 minutes of cooking.

3. To serve, slice peameal thinly and stack onto sliced Kaiser rolls. Drizzle with reserved glaze and top with Spicy Slaw.

Spicy Slaw

1. Whisk lime juice, mustard, sugar, ginger and jalapeno together. Slowly add olive oil while whisking.

2. Pour dressing over cabbage, green onions and raisins. Season to taste and chill until ready to serve. Slaw can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance.
