Step 1


instructions For the Sandwich:

Slice the loaf lengthwise and coat the inside of the bread with mustard and aioli. Layer sandwich ingredients in this order: swiss cheese, pickles, roast pork, and sliced ham. Coat the outside of the bread with softened butter. Grill the sandwich with a sandwich press or in a frying pan until nice and toasty and the cheese is melted.

step 2

ingredients 20 Garlic cloves
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon course-ground Pepper
1 teaspoon Cumin
2 teaspoons Oregano
14 ounces Summer Ale Beer
1/4 cup White Vinegar
5 pounds Pork Shoulder (bone-in)
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 White Onion (sliced into rings)
1 teaspoon Parsley

instructions For the Roast Pork: Combine garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, beer, and white vinegar to make a "Boston Mojo". Stab the pork two or three times and brown it quickly in the olive oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Place in a crock pot and cover with the mojo, sliced onions, and parsley. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. Preheat oven to 350ºF. After the pork is cooked and very tender, pull it apart a bit and move to a roasting pan. Pour mojo from crock pot over the pork and bake in oven for about 30 minutes.
