Pork Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Pork
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Slice the Bread
Cut the Cuban bread or baguette into 4 equal portions. Slice each portion open lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, to create a pocket.

Press the Sandwiches
If you have a sandwich press or a cast-iron skillet, preheat it. Place the assembled sandwiches in the press or skillet, and press down gently to flatten. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
