Ingredients:

  • 8 slices boiled no-sugar-added ham (about 1/4 lb)
  • 8 slices swiss cheese (about 1/4 lb)
  • 8 slices mojo pork roast , recipe follows
  • 1 kosher dill pickle , thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 4 outer leaves boston lettuce
  • equipment: toothpicks

Directions:

  1. On a microwave proof plate, layer 2 slices ham, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices roast pork, 1 pickle slice and 1 more slice of cheese. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds-just long enough to melt the cheese.
  2. Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on the inside of a lettuce leaf, top with the layered meat and cheese, and roll it up. Secure with a toothpicks. Repeat to make 4 total.
  3. Mojo Pork Roast:
  4. 1 (5-pound) bone-in fresh pork shoulder half (preferably arm picnic)
  5. 1 (16-ounce) bottle no-sugar-added Italian dressing (recommended: Paul Newman’s Olive oil and Vinegar)
  6. 2 limes, juiced
  7. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  8. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  9. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  10. 3 bay leaves
  11. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  12. Score the fat and skin on the pork shoulder in a hatch mark fashion. Place the shoulder in a roasting pan lined with a rack, and pour the dressing over it. Rub the shoulder with the remaining ingredients and roast uncovered for 1 hour.
  13. Tent the shoulder loosely with aluminum foil and continue roasting while basting occasionally, until the meat starts to easily pull apart from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours more. Transfer the shoulder to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Trim off any excess fat and cut into thin slices.
