CUBAN SANDWICHES

You will often find these being served at street-food markets in the US, and are a popular favorite with many foodies. I give you the quickie, deli version of this sandwich, but you can also make your own marinade for pork shoulder as well (below).  This recipe makes enough for 4 people.

Cubano Sandwiches

​If you'd like to marinate and slow roast your own pork shoulder for this recipe, this is a fantastic marinade to use.
​​

• 2 lbs of pork shoulder
• 2 limes
• 2 oranges
• A small bunch of oregano
• ½ bunch of small coriander
• 4 cloves of garlic
• Teaspoon of both salt and pepper

 

1. Grate and zest the oranges and limes, and add the zest and juice to a blender or food processor. Toss in the oregano, coriander, garlic, salt and pepper.  Blend until smooth and combined.
2. In a glass baking dish or bowl, pour the marinade over the pork shoulder and massage it into the meat.  Cover with cling wrap, and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least an hour, ideally overnight.  
3. Once the meat has marinated, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the marinated meat in baking pan and let cook for 30 minutes, covered. Then, turn down the heat to 325 degrees and continue cooking for another 2 hours uncovered, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees.
4. Remove from oven and let it stand until it's cooled enough to handle and slice.
