Easy Spanish Pork Dip Sandwiches image

Another one from Southern Living, this crockpot recipe is somewhat similar to Cuban-style pork in flavor. Mojo criollo is a Cuban marinade/sauce made from sour orange juice, garlic, olive oil, and (usually) oregano. Most grocery stores carry mojo criollo now, I think, but you can make your own very easily if you can't find it.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons garlic pepper seasoning
2 teaspoons salt
1 (4 -5 lb) boneless pork shoulder, cut in half
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup mojo criollo
2 (7/8 ounce) envelopes pork gravy mix
2 cups water
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 bay leaves
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
8 small French rolls

Steps:

  • Sprinkle roast evenly with garlic pepper and salt. Brown in hot oil in large skillet for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Place in a 6-qt slow cooker, fat sides up.
  • Combine mojo criollo, pork gravy mix, water, and bay leaves; pour over roast. Top with sliced onion.
  • Cover and cook on high 1 hour.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook 4-5 hours or until meat is tender and shreds easily. Discard bay leaves.
  • Leave the liquid and onions in the crockpot and remove the pork to a large bowl. Shred the pork with two forks. Add 1 cup reserved liquid to moisten the shredded meat.
  • Slice mini French rolls in half. Place shredded pork and onion slices on bottom bread halves and top with the remaining halves.
  • Spoon remaining reserved liquid into individual bowls for dipping.
