How to cook deliciously - Cuban Sandwich

1. Stage

Make the roast pork: Mix all ingredients except for pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag until fully combined. Add pork and seal bag. Massage bag to coat pork with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Massage bag from time to time to distribute marinade.

Remove bag from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour more.

3. Stage

Preheat oven to 400º. Place pork in a dutch oven with a lid and discard excess marinade. Cook covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and carefully flip loin. Continue to cook, uncovered, until internal temperature reaches 145º, 20 to 30 minutes more. Transfer pork to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Make the sandwiches: Cut 6 large pieces of foil. Split bread in half lengthwise and butter the outside of both slices, then place on foil.

Assemble sandwiches on foil. Spread a thin layer of mustard on the inside of each slice of bread. Add layers of ham, roast pork slices, pickles, and Swiss, then add top of bread.
