Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 60 milliliters orange juice
- 30 milliliters lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 units baguette or Cuban bread roll
- 150 grams sliced ham
- 100 grams Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 units dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and oregano to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the pork shoulder and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for about 3 hours until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the pork using two forks.
Cut the baguette or Cuban bread rolls in half lengthwise. Spread a layer of Dijon mustard on each half.
Layer the shredded pork, sliced ham, and Swiss cheese on one half of the bread.
Slice the pickles thinly and place them over the cheese.
Close the sandwich with the other half of the bread. Lightly butter the outside of the bread.
Heat a skillet or a sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and press down with a spatula or another heavy pan if using a skillet.
Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from heat, slice the sandwich into desired portions and serve immediately.
