This Cuban sandwich isn't your typical sub sandwich. With two kinds of pork, melted Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard pressed between two toasty pieces of bread, the picture-perfect Cubano will have you wanting more.
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
8 hoagie buns
1/4 cup prepared mustard
16 thin sandwich pickle slices
1 pound thinly sliced deli ham
16 slices swiss cheese
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
In a small bowl combine the first 6 ingredients. Set aside. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, brown roast on all sides. Press cancel. Add onion; pour orange juice mixture around meat.
Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 1 hour. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. Remove pork to a cutting board; discard liquid and onion. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut each hoagie in half lengthwise; flatten slightly. Spread cut sides with mustard. Cut pork into thin slices. Layer pickles, pork, ham and cheese over the mustard. Replace tops, brush with butter.
Cook in batches on a panini maker or indoor grill until cheese is melted and bread is toasted, 5-7 minutes.
