Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper, then slow-cook it until tender. Shred the pork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise. Spread yellow mustard on both sides. Layer the shredded pork, ham slices, Swiss cheese, and pickles.

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a panini press or skillet. Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich and grill until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes.

    Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve hot with additional pickles on the side.
