Step one

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat pork in oil and season with salt and pepper. On a cutting board, evenly roll pork over thyme.
Step two

Add pork to preheated skillet and brown on all sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low; cook covered, until just a hint of pink remains, 12 to 15 minutes.
Step three

Remove from skillet; tent with foil for 10 minutes.
Step four

Place pita on a grill to warm through. Slice pork into 1/2-inch (1 cm) rounds. Trim off top third of each pita.
Step five

To assemble, place slices of pork in center of pita and pour approximately 3 tbsp. (45 mL) of VH® Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce over pork. Add lettuce, onion and Vlasic Kosher Whole Dill pickles. Place remaining VH® Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce in a small ramekin for dipping.
