Step one

Preheat the oven on broil. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ground pork until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes.
Step two

Stir in VH® Butter Chicken Cooking Sauce and continue to cook the mixture for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step three

Transfer both halves of the buns to the broiler, open-faced, and toast until the buns are golden.
Step four

Remove the buns from the oven and fill each sandwich with a generous amount of the pork mixture. Top with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
Step five

Serve with a side salad made with arugula, shaved parmesan, and sliced radishes. Dress with lemon juice and olive oil.
