Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Trim pork shoulder and remove excess fat.
- To make the marinade, combine orange juice, lime juice, zests, oregano, coriander, garlic, and cumin. Whisk in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside
- Place pork in a pressure cooker with chicken stock, bay leaves, onion, and marinade. Cook on low until tender, about 40 minutes.
- Remove pork and slice thinly. To make the sauce, strain cooking liquid into a saucepan, reduce by half, add cornflour and stir until thickened. Once it's reached desired consistency, stir in Dijon mustard. Remove from heat and set aside
- Split bread loaves, spread sauce, then layer pork, ham, salami, cheese, and pickles.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high. Place sandwiches, cover with baking paper, press down on top with something heavy (I use another pan that's a touch smaller), and cook 3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
- Let stand 1 minute before cutting. Serve hot.
