Prep Time: 8 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Minutes
Ready In: 10 Minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
8 slices boiled no-sugar-added ham (about 1/4 pound)
8 slices swiss cheese (about 1/4 pound)
8 slices mojo pork roast, recipe follows
1 kosher dill pickle, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
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.
