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

Method

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 1 (5-pound) bone-in fresh pork shoulder half (preferably arm picnic)
  • 1 (16-ounce) bottle no-sugar-added Italian dressing (recommended: Paul Newman's Olive oil and Vinegar)
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 bay leaves
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • 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.
  • 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.
