Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime (2 tablespoons)
  • Juice of 1 orange (2 tablespoons)
  • 3 to 3 1/2-pound boneless pork shoulder
  • One 24-inch sub roll
  • Yellow mustard
  • 1 pound Swiss, thick-sliced
  • 1 pound honey ham, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups dill pickle chips
  • 2 red onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Mix the oil, salt, cumin, oregano, black pepper, red pepper, garlic, lime juice and orange juice in a small bowl. Make slits in the pork with a paring knife and rub liberally all over with the oil mixture. Place the pork in a slow cooker and top with the remaining juices from the bowl. Cover and cook on low until tender, flipping once halfway through, about 6 hours.

Remove from the slow cooker and let cool slightly. Shred the pork into thick chunks with 2 forks. Set the pork aside and keep warm in the cooking liquid.

Slice the roll open and smear both sides with mustard. Layer on the Swiss, ham, pulled pork and pickles. Place the onions over half the sub and cut into portions. Or, start on opposing ends and race to the middle.

    This is Cuban sandwich is da' bomb - far better than I've had at any restaurant and the hubby agrees! The ONLY change we made was the bread. We bought an Italian loaf fresh at a local bakery, buttered and toasted our bread. Yummmmmm! This recipe is a keeper for sure.
