PORK SHOULDER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Coat shoulder with mustard and sprinkle liberally with Spice Rub coating all sides.
• Place in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• Place uncovered shoulder directly on rack with a drip pan beneath.
• Roast for 7-8 hours (or until falling apart).
• Remove from oven to a cooling rack to rest for at least 1 hour.
• Pull pork apart using fingers or two forks.
• Serve by topping 1 slice of bread with a generous portion of meat, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and fries.
• It makes a pretty messy (but unbeatable) open-faced sandwich so you may want to have forks at the ready.

ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE ROAST PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
• Sprinkle pork roast with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast for two hours or until temperature of center of pork registers 150-160 degrees (145 degrees is the new "safe" temp for pork.).
• Melt butter over roast while it is still in the roasting pan.
• Remove roast from pan, saving the drippings and juice.
• Add Au Jus mix and water to drippings and cook according to directions on package.
• Place bread in the oven (which has been turned off just after the roast is done) and let it crisp a bit. The heat will help to melt the cheese better than just the heat of the meat will.
• Let roast cool for about 10 minutes, then slice thinly.
• Pile pork and cheese on bread while meat is still hot.
• Serve with Au Jus dipping gravy on the side and LOTS o' napkins.

ROAST PORK SHOULDER SANDWICHES WITH FENNEL SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Have the butcher butterfly the meat for you or take a very sharp knife and split the shoulder open and across the meat, opening the shoulder like a book, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Heavily sprinkle the meat with lots of pepper and sea salt, garlic, rosemary and fennel seeds. Roll the meat up and tie with twine. Slather with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dress the onions with EVOO, salt and pepper and scatter across a baking pan. Set the meat on top and roast 1 hour.
• Douse the pan with the wine and return to the oven. Roast another 1 to 1 1/2 hours to 145 to 150 degrees F internal temperature. Let stand 15 minutes, and then slice and serve. Or, cool to room temp, cover and store. To serve after storing, slice 1-inch thick pieces and reheat in shallow pan of warm chicken stock to heat through.
• While the meat cooks, combine the sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper and about 1/4 cup EVOO. Toss the cabbage and fennel and fronds in the dressing.
• To serve, slice the meat, pile on rolls with warm onions and cold fennel slaw on top.

PHILADELPHIA STYLE ROAST PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Remove the netting or strings on pork roast, keeping them intact to use again. Combine rosemary, 3 cloves of garlic, parsley, 3 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper in a bowl. Slice open the pork roast and spread it with the oil and herb mixture. Roll up the pork and secure it with the netting or string. Rub outside of the roast with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan or baking dish and pour in water. Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours; add more water if necessary. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow the roast to rest 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve the pan juices.
• While the pork is resting, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir in 2 cloves chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Add spinach, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and lemon juice. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally.
• Cut the string on the roast and cut the pork into thin slices. Return the sliced pork to the reserved pan juices.
• Slice the sandwich rolls and sprinkle each roll with shredded Manchego cheese. Add pork slices to each sandwich, top with spinach, and serve.

PORK CELEBRATION SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a board and chop, reserving the bacon grease in the skillet.
• In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cilantro and orange zest and juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture onto 2 of the sourdough slices. Lay a slice of provolone onto each of the mayonnaise-spread sourdough slices, followed by a slice of deli ham and half of the chopped bacon. Divide the Perfect Paprika Pork Shoulder between the 2 slices and place on top of the bacon; add another slice of provolone to each. Divide the pickles between the 2 slices and lay them on top. Spread the remaining 2 sourdough slices with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mayo mix and place one on top of each sandwich mayo-side down.
• Reheat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat, then toast the sandwiches in the skillet until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Serve with your favorite potato chips or pork rinds.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Mix the salt, pepper and paprika in a small bowl. Season the pork all over with the mix, sprinkling it on and then rubbing it in with your hands.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Stir the garlic and onion into the pot and cook for 1 minute.
• Tie together the rosemary, thyme and bay leaves with butcher's twine. Add to the pot and stir. Deglaze with the white wine, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom. Stir in the broth, chipotle and adobo sauce. Add the pork to the pot fat-side up and bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until very tender, 4 to 5 hours.
• Remove the pork from the liquid, shred with 2 forks and serve with the accompaniments of your choice, spooning over the liquid as a sauce.
• Place any leftovers in a container and transfer any liquid to a separate container. Allow both the pork and the liquid to cool slightly before covering and refrigerating. Once the liquid has chilled, the fat will solidify at the top and make it easy to separate and discard. You can then reheat the pork as you'd like, using the stock to keep the pork from drying out.

ROAST PORK SANDWICHES: PAN CON LECHON

Steps:

• With a knife, make a couple incisions in the pork shoulder and stud with the garlic cloves.
• In a blender, puree onions, bay leaf, oregano, cumin, white vinegar, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over the pork shoulder, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan. Heat the lard, and pour over the top. Cover and bake 3 hours. Let the meat rest for 15 minutes. Slice thinly.
• Saute red onions and deglaze with lime juice.
• Assemble the sandwich by placing 4 to 5 slices of pork and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the onion mixture on the bread. On a griddle, heat up the sandwich until the bread is crispy.
