Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Cuban Paninis

Oh, the cuban. My all-time favorite sandwich. I can’t intend of a amend combination sandwiched inwards between crusty, buttery bread. First of all, pulled pork is definitely inwards my acme v favorite foods, in addition to when spicy mustard, pickles, too cheese are added to the situation, it’s game over. Not to refer the staff of life. I know I already said it simply this daughter loves her breadstuff. I actually accept no words for this sandwich other than yous accept to get in!

I never make cubans at abode for or so argue. I always become them at restaurants. Maybe because they feel particular, in addition to kind of similar a labor of love? But that is changing NOW.

The pulled pork is made inward the dull cooker alongside traditional Cuban “mojo” ingredients. Orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, too oregano, too then cooked depression and dull. What we’re left alongside is the about delicious pulled pork that I could but swallow evidently as well as be 10000% happy.

But we’re making it fifty-fifty improve. The more than loaded the sandwich, the ameliorate.

If yous’re pressed for fourth dimension, y'all can sure as shooting used leftover pulled pork, but I’d highly recommend trying this method of pulled pork if you lot take the fourth dimension. To brand these sandwiches, I buttered the outsides of about super crusty bread, slathered the insides amongst spicy dark-brown mustard, piled it high alongside the pulled pork, deli ham, the long “sandwich sliced” pickles, in addition to swiss cheese. I so grilled it inward the panini press until I had crusty, gilt grill marks on the breadstuff, in addition to super melty cheese.

I could swallow these every single mean solar day as well as never become sick of them. Yes, these. Meaning multiple sandwiches. I could not stop.

These ingredients seriously make magic together.

These are and then perfect for game 24-hour interval too! You can totally brand the pork ahead of time, together with grill the sandwiches every bit you involve them. Happy weekend! I promise yous honey these equally much every bit I do.
