Steps:

• Make the roasted pork: In a blender, combine the garlic cloves, cumin, pepper, salt, oregano, orange juice, and lime juice. Blend on high speed until smooth.
• Pour the marinade into a large zip-top plastic bag and add the pork shoulder, rubbing to coat well. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
• Transfer the pork and its marinade to a roasting pan. Roast until a crust begins to form and the internal temperature reaches 190-195°F (85-90°C), about 3 hours. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving (if you have time, you can refrigerate the pork overnight so it's easier to slice).
• Cut 12 slices of pork for the sandwiches and reserve the rest for another use.
• Make the sandwiches: Heat a 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Set the bottom halves of the Cuban bread on a cutting board and layer each piece with 4 slices of ham, 3 slices of pork, 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 4 pickle slices.
• Slather 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard on the inside of each top half of bread, then place on top of each sandwich.
• Brush the tops of the sandwiches with melted butter, then place in the hot skillet, top side down. Place a small pan on top of sandwiches and weigh down with a heavy can. Cook until the bread begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Uncover and flip the sandwiches, then press again and cook until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes more.
• Slice the sandwiches in half and serve.
• Enjoy!

INSTANT POT CUBANO SANDWICHES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the pulled pork: In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, garlic powder, 1½ teaspoons salt, and the black pepper.
• Rub the spice mixture all over the pork loin.
• Turn the Instant Pot on to the Sauté setting. When the pot is hot, add 1½ tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork loin and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
• Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil to the pot and the onion to the pot. Cook for about 3 minutes, until fragrant.
• Add the lime juice, orange juice, chicken stock, and bay leaf, then return the seared pork to the pot. Secure the lid (make sure the valve is set to sealing) and cook on high pressure for 1 hour. Carefully turn the valve to venting and let the pressure release completely, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the pot and shred. Transfer to a medium bowl with ⅓ cup of the cooking liquid and the remaining teaspoon of salt and toss to combine.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the ciabatta rolls in a toaster for about 3 minutes, or until the cut sides of the rolls are light golden brown.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of French's® Creamy Mustard over the cut side of each ciabatta roll half, 2 tablespoons total per roll. Add 2 Swiss cheese slices to the top half of each roll and 1 Swiss cheese slice to the bottom halves. Pile the pulled pork generously on the bottom halves, then top each with 2 slices of ham and 2 pickle slices. Close the sandwiches and press down to compact.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place a sandwich, upside down, in the skillet and place a sheet of aluminum foil on top, then weigh down with another small cast iron skillet. Toast for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Flip and press down again, then cook until the other side is toasted and the cheese has melted, 1-2 minutes more. Remove the sandwich from the pan and cut in half. Serve immediately with potato chips alongside. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
• Enjoy!
