A recipe for a delicious Cubano sandwich featuring a flavorful citrus-garlic marinated pork roast, slow-cooked until tender, then layered with smoked ham, Swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles on buttered bread and pressed until golden.
To make the marinade: Crush 10-15 garlic cloves to a paste. Add the juice of 2 oranges and 2 limes, 3 tablespoons of cumin, 2 tablespoons of oregano, 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Mix well. Score your pork on both sides and coat thoroughly in the marinade. Place the pork in a cooking vessel and let it marinate overnight. The next day, preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Add the marinated pork to the oven and cook for 7-8 hours until it is incredibly tender. Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. To assemble the sandwich: Spread mustard on your chosen bread. Layer with Swiss cheese, smoked ham, the slow-roasted pork, and pickles. Close the sandwich and butter both sides of the bread. Toast the sandwich in a panini press or between a hot pan with a second heavy pan on top on the stove until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
