Cuban Sandwich

  1. This comes out best marinating the pork roast overnight. I forgot to do that and actually forgot to even take the roast out of the freezer. I tossed mine frozen in the crockpot first thing in the morning with the Mojo on high and cooked it for about 6 hours. If yours is not frozen you can cook it on low for the same time or turn it on high and have it done it about 4 hours. If you don't have a crockpot don't despair. Marinate the roast and toss in an oven preheated to 325 for about 1-1 1/2 hours or until tender.
  2. Now pull the meat apart like you would for pulled pork. Sprinkle a little Mojo over the meat, just a drizzle. Set aside to use in a few steps.
  3. Cut the bread in half lengthwise.. Spread the bread with some mustard (I always call it mouse-turd, lol)
  4. Now slice the pickle in half lengthwise, really thinly. The pickle goes on one half of the bread and mustard. Now put the pork roast on top of that.
  5. Add the slices of cheese to the other side of the bread (just mustard side). Place the ham slices on top of the cheese. Now place the ham and cheese side on top of the pork and pickle side.
  6. Cut on a diagonal into sandwich sizes (I customize mine for each person in our family, small ones for the smaller kids)
  7. Heat a fry pan with a little oil or pam in it. I use cast iron but you can use any. Place the sandwiches in the pan and put a smoosher on them. If you have a paninni press you could use that instead. I have smooshed mine with a plate before. Keep the smoosher on it while it cooks. Press firmly you want to smash the bread. Flip the sandwich over and repeat. Serve hot! #homemadeYUMMY
