Arugula pesto, spicy pork, and spinach pockets

Pork second courses Italian cuisine

These pockets marry arugula pesto, spicy pork, spinach, and goat cheese together in a neat little package, which is easy to eat with one hand while holding a drink in the other. They are a bit sweet, a bit spicy. I think the textures balance well. The pork, the spinach, and the pesto can all be prepared a few hours ahead, and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to put the pockets together. Alternatively, you can make the parcels ahead and freeze them; in this case, add a couple extra minutes to the cooking time.
