What's Going On Here
It is a good use for the last of the Sunday roast. The pork is warmed in gravy until it is soft, sweet and moist, and tucked into a bread roll with something sharp.
Slice the pork thin, then lay it in a pan with the gravy over a low heat for 10 minutes. The gravy needs to be hot but not boiling, since boiling toughens the meat. The slices should be tender and coated, not swimming.
Split the rolls and toast them lightly in a dry pan. A toasted cut face blocks the gravy from soaking through, and gives a crunch against the soft pork.
Spread the apple sauce on the bread first, then pile on the pork and add crackling if you have it. Pour a spoon of the remaining gravy over the top. The roll will be messy, so keep napkins close. A crisp apple and cabbage slaw on the side cuts the richness. Sage and onion stuffing, if you have any left, is a good addition and soaks up the gravy nicely.
