Ingredients
- 8 slices boiled no-sugar-added ham (about 1/4 pound)
- 8 slices Swiss cheese (about 1/4 pound)
- 8 slices Mojo Pork Roast, recipe follows
- 1 kosher dill pickle, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 4 outer leaves Boston lettuce
- Equipment: toothpicks
Directions
On a microwave proof plate, layer 2 slices ham, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices roast pork, 1 pickle slice and 1 more slice of cheese. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds--just long enough to melt the cheese.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on the inside of a lettuce leaf, top with the layered meat and cheese, and roll it up. Secure with a toothpicks. Repeat to make 4 total.
1 (5-pound) bone-in fresh pork shoulder half (preferably arm picnic)
1 (16-ounce) bottle no-sugar-added Italian dressing (recommended: Paul Newman’s Olive oil and Vinegar)
2 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Score the fat and skin on the pork shoulder in a hatch mark fashion. Place the shoulder in a roasting pan lined with a rack, and pour the dressing over it. Rub the shoulder with the remaining ingredients and roast uncovered for 1 hour.
Tent the shoulder loosely with aluminum foil and continue roasting while basting occasionally, until the meat starts to easily pull apart from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours more. Transfer the shoulder to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Trim off any excess fat and cut into thin slices.

This is a great adaptation of one of the great sandwiches of the world, but my version makes it even better. Instead of using lettuce, with the addition of only 5-7 net carbs, I use la Tortilla Factory Low Carb tortillas. By folding it up like a burrito, or sandwich wrap, the sandwich can still be grilled, the cheese melts better, and overall it eats more like a sandwich. I've made them on a George Foreman Grill, many times, and they come out perfect everytime; but any sandwich press will do.

This is a great recipe. I love cubano sandwiches and didn't miss the bread at all. The pork prepared with the Italian dressing is good enough to stand alone too.
