Pork Loin Sliders and Broccoli-Kale Citrus Slaw

Pork Loin Sliders and Broccoli-Kale Citrus Slaw ~ Applewood bacon topped pork loin filet grilled and sliced then topped with a broccoli and kale slaw dressed in a tangy and slightly creamy citrus vinaigrette.Summer is fully upon us, expect for yesterday, but that’s another story for another time. Elizabeth and I find ourselves out at our friends’ home quite frequently. They live out in the country with huge yard, dogs, and lots of mosquitos.I probably know Darla’s kitchen almost as well as I know my own, and quite possibly better than my grandmother’s.  It was my turn to make dinner for everyone and with the summer heat, it needed to be easy and oven-less. So of course, that means the grill.

When I was getting some odds and ends at the Walmart I saw Smithfield Applewood Bacon Topped Pork Loin Filet. I usually marinate my own meats, but I am not above needing help from time to time and this was perfect.

Oh fine…It was the bacon that did, I wanted the bacon. There, you got me to confess..

Once I picked up the Smithfield Pork, it was just a matter of gathering side dishes. At first I thought potato chips and other things of that nature but then the little angel that sits on my shoulder talked me out of that. A slaw tossed on top of the slider would suit me and my waistline quite nicely.Now some notes about the recipe. I know it looks crazy long, but honestly, I put it all together in about 10 minutes. In the amount of time it took the grill to get to its needed temperature, the slaw was made and chilling in the refrigerator, where it remained until the pork was done. If you don’t want to squeeze a fresh lemon or orange or both, don’t, just use juice. I wanted extra liquid in my slaw for dipping the rolls into in leu of using mayo or anything of that nature, but if you don’t want such a wet slaw, decrease the oil to 1/3 cup and vinegar to 1/4 cup. 

This pork was exactly what I needed for a having great dinner but keeping my Sunday lazy with friends. Instead of slaving over the stove-which I normally love doing, this cooked low and slow on the grill allowing me to watch my daughter get tumbling lessons from Darla’s daughter. To me, that was a much better use of my time. The only thing I regret about this meal, I only bought one pork loin filet. I really should have purchased two because this was devoured leaving nothing on the platter. NOTHING. Not a single crumb.
