Llana Cubana Sandwich Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Mojo Marinade

   In a blender, combine garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Blend in olive oil and vinegar until smooth.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the mojo marinade over the pork, ensuring it's completely coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded. Let it rest, then shred the pork.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Slice the Cuban bread or baguette in half. Layer with shredded pork, Swiss cheese, ham, tomato slices, Dijon mustard, and pickles.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   Preheat a panini press or grill. Place the assembled sandwich on the grill and press down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the sandwich from the grill, slice in half, and serve hot.
