Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless pork shoulder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 unit Tomato, sliced
- 4 slices Paleo-friendly bread
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, fresh rosemary, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the pork is tender and a meat thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the pork is resting, prepare the sandwich fillings. Lay out Paleo-friendly bread slices and spread Dijon mustard evenly over each slice.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering mixed salad greens, sliced tomato, and thin slices of roast pork.
Top with another slice of Paleo-friendly bread and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Classic Roast Pork Sandwich!
