Mojo Marinated Pulled Pork

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Mojo Marinated Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mojo Marinade

    In a blender, combine orange juice, lime juice, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a large zip-top bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake for about 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the sub rolls in half. Layer the shredded mojo pork, shaved ham, and swiss cheese on the bottom half of each roll.

  2. 6

    Add Giardiniera

    Top the meat and cheese with giardiniera to add a tangy crunch.

  3. 7

    Close and Serve

    Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich. You can serve it as is or press it in a panini press until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
