Spice Rubbed Pork Loin BLT Sliders with Dijon Remoulade

Pork Sliders

Directions

Remoulade:
Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Spice-Rubbed Pork Loin:

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Combine the cumin, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub all over the loin. Place on a rack in a small roasting pan. Roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degree F. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 145 degree F, 50 to 60 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve:

Carve roast crosswise into thin slices. Divide slices into 24 portions. Spread each roll with remoulade. Fill with equal amounts of the pork and arugula. Top with a tomato round and 2 pieces of bacon. Serve warm.
