Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pack Ham lunchmeat your favorite brand
- 1 Pork loin cooked and shredded
- 1 cup Sliced pickles
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 loaf Cuban bread see notes
- 1/2 cup Mustard
Seasoning (for pork loin)
- 2 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Seasoning salt
- 2 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- Season pork loin. Sauté in the instant-pot until all sides are brown. Cook on the meat setting for recommended time, (usually one hour).
- Slice the loaf of bread down the middle horizontally so that you have two pieces. Then cut the bread into the desired individual sandwich size pieces.
- Once the pork loin is done, shred it using two forks, or using a knife, roughly chop the meat. NOTE: Half of the pork loin can be reserved for another recipe if desired.
- Slather the mustard on one side of the loaf to evenly cover it. Begin layering with the ham, pork loin, cheese, and pickles.
- Grill the sandwich using a sandwich press, or grill it in a skillet and weigh it down with another skillet or something moderately heavy on top of it. Grill 5 minutes per side if using a skillet.
- Sandwich is done when cheese is melted and both sides are brown.
Notes
Any cut of pork can be used for this recipe. If you do not have an Instant Pot, simply roast the pork in the oven until done.
Any loaf of bread will work, Cuban bread is the best for this sandwich, but pick-up a loaf that your local bakery has available.
