  • 1/2 pound sliced deli ham cooked ham
  • 4 Cups Slow Cooked Cuban Pork Recipe & Ingredients Below
  • 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
  • Mustard
  • Butter

Ingredients for Slow Cooked Cuban Pork Roast

  • 1 bone-in or boneless, pork shoulder roast (about 4 pounds)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • Zest of 1 Lime
  • 3/4 cup Orange Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup Lime Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic chopped finely
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro lightly packed

Instructions
 

  • 1. Cut each roll in half lengthwise; flatten slightly. Spread outside with butter; spread both halves inside with mustard. Layer cheese on each half of roll. Layer pickles, pork, and ham over the cheese. Replace tops so buttered side is outward.
  • 2. Cook in batches on a Panini maker or indoor grill for 4-5 minutes or until bread is browned and cheese is melted.
  • How to make Slow Cooked Pork Roast
  • 1. Place pork roast in the slow cooker.
  • 2. To the slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients and mix with spoon.
  • 3. Cook on high for 5-6 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours. Remember every slow cooker cooks at different temperatures so watch your roast and adjust cook times as needed.
  • 4. Carefully remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet with the edges of the foil turned up. Spoon some, not all, of the remaining liquid from the slow cooker on top of the roast.
  • 5. Place in preheated oven set for broil. Broil for 10 minutes or until edges and top of pork roast are golden and slightly crispy.
  • 6. Remove from oven and let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving. Shred the meat with two forks and top with reserved Mojo liquid in the slow cooker.
