How’s this for easy? Just rub a big boneless pork shoulder roast with garlic and salt, and put it into the slow cooker with orange zest, orange juice, and stock. Then it’s hands off for about 7 hours. Right before serving, the entire sandwich is put underneath the broiler to melt the cheese and warm the bread.
Ingredients
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), trimmed of excess fat
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon orange zest plus 1 tsp. fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
6 6-in. sub rolls
⅓ cup Dijon mustard
3 ounces thinly sliced deli ham
3 ounces thinly sliced Swiss cheese
1 whole dill pickle, thinly sliced crosswise
Directions
Rub the pork with the garlic and salt and place in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken stock, orange zest, and orange juice. Cover and cook on low until the pork is very tender, 7 to 8 hours. Pull pork into 1- to 2-inch pieces; toss with the lime juice. Return to slow cooker and keep warm.
Preheat broiler with the oven rack 6 inches from heat. Split the rolls length-wise. Spread the mustard on the bottom halves and top evenly with the pork, ham, and Swiss cheese. Broil just until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with the pickles and sandwich with the tops of the rolls.
