Pork can be cooked in various ways, roasted using the pork loin which is the rack of pork, the leg from which hams are made, the tenderloin, the neck, scallops, ribs, and other cuts. With the loin, which is a part of the neck, I thought of cooking some simple Pan-Fried Pork Loin Sandwiches, a main course that is really quick to prepare and very tasty.

Ingredients
- 8 slices pork loin (very thin)
- 4 slices fontina cheese
- 2 slices cooked ham
- 4 slices lard
- 1 sprig rosemary
Tools
- Kitchen Scale
- Cutting Board
- Frying Pan
- Kitchen Spatula
Steps
Place the pork loin slices on the cutting board, lay the fontina cheese and cooked ham on 4 slices, and cover with the other 4 slices, pressing slightly.
Wrap each pair with lard and place the sandwiches in the very hot pan along with the rosemary sprig. Do not salt or add oil as they will cook in the fat released by the lard. After 7 minutes, turn them over and cook for another 7 minutes. The Pork Loin Sandwiches are ready to serve after draining the fat.
