Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Cucumber slices
- 1 cup Tomato slices
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Keto mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until it is browned, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, let the pork rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the pork is resting, prepare the sandwich fixings: Wash the lettuce leaves, slice the cucumber and tomato, and thinly slice the avocado.
In a small bowl, mix the keto mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar together until smooth.
To assemble the keto sandwich: Place two lettuce leaves on a plate as the base.
Layer on sliced pork, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and avocado slices evenly.
Drizzle the mayonnaise mixture over the top.
Top with two more lettuce leaves to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Classic Roast Pork Sandwich.
