Cheesy Pulled Pork Jaffle with Pineapple Salsa
https://foodloversmarket.co.za/recipes/cheesy-pulled-pork-jaffle/
Jaffles, are a satisfying comfort, especially in winter. But, this jaffle is ultra indulgent, filled with pulled pork and made extra cheesy. We paired it with a seasonal pineapple salsa to balance out that rich pulled pork. Use leftover pork from a pork roast, and made it super cheesy with cheddar and mozzarella, plus a homemade BBQ sauce. What makes this even more indulgent? The fresh Food Lover’s Ouma brood! Sound a little too rich for you? That’s why we’ve got a pineapple salsa, the perfect accompaniment for a sweet pop and a little added crunch!

- Place each sandwich in a jaffle iron and heat each side over a medium flame for 3 – 5 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to open the jaffle iron and check the jaffle every few minutes to ensure it is not burning.
- Serve hot with the pineapple salsa and enjoy.
