Ingredients
4 thick slices crusty white bread
50g unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp smoky chilli paste (such as ancho or chipotle)
4 tbsp refried beans
3 salad onions, finely sliced
160g Cooks' Ingredients Pulled Pork Shoulder
4 guindillas (Spanish hot pickled peppers)
4 pimiento piquillos (sweet Spanish peppers)
4 slice/s Jarlsberg cheese
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter and set butter-side down. Spread 2 slices with the chilli paste, and the other 2 with the refried beans.
Mix the salad onion and pork in a bowl, season, then arrange on top of the chilli paste. Top with the 1⁄2 the guindillas, pimiento piquillos and Jarlsberg. Press the other slice of bread on top, refried bean-side down and butter-side up.
Heat a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for about 2 minutes, pressing them with a spatula, until the underside is crisp and golden. Carefully flip them over and cook the other side until golden. Lay a sheet of baking parchment on top of the sandwiches and weigh them down with a roasting tin.
Slide the pan into the oven and cook the sandwiches for about
3 minutes, until the filling is hot and the cheese is melting. Cut each sandwich in half and serve at once.
