Ingredients
Whole pork shoulder
your favorite breads
Mustard
Swiss cheese
Pickles
Marinated:
Orange juice
Salt
rice vinegar
oregano
peppercorns
laurel
thyme
Rosemary
Garlic
1 tbsp ginger puree
Green Mojito:
1 bunch of coriander
1/2 bunch of mint
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
2 strips of orange peel
4 sprigs of thyme
1 tablespoon of garlic puree
the juice of 8 lemons
4 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation:
Start the night before marinating the pork, so mix the orange juice, salt, rice vinegar, oregano, peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme, sage, rosemary, minced garlic and ginger in a bowl and mix everything very well. Then place the pork in a bowl (we used one draw from the freezer) deep enough for most of the pig to be submerged. Add the marinade mixture, make cuts in the skin and leave it in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
The next day begins by preparing the green mojo so place cilantro, oregano, cumin, mint, lemon juice, garlic, orange peel, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper in the blender. Remove the pork from the marinade, place it on a tray and spread the green mojo on all corners. If you have a syringe, I recommend that you inject it or make deep cuts in the meat and try to insert the mixture with your fingers.
Bake the pork at 140ºC, until it reaches an internal temperature of 72ºC. Remove it from the oven and let it cool. Slice it thinly and reserve the meat.
For the moment of assembly, use a frying pan or griddle and use the skin of the pig to grease it. Spread the buns with butter and brown them. Sear your meat and ham on both sides until golden brown. Add mustard to the buns, put all the meat you want, ham, pickles and Swiss cheese. Take it back to the grill and crush them with the help of another pan and enjoy it as you like.
