Cubano sandwiches

[DarrenC]

Cheap-*** picnic from the discount bin. 12 hours in mojo marinade then slow cooked for 8 hours indirect. Basic Minion method - no gadgets or accesories. No smoke other than the hardwood charcoal.

Let it rest wrapped up in foil and a towel and left the vents open just enough to keep the fire from going out. A couple of hours later removed the lid and opened the damper to let the coals come back up while I assembled the sandwiches. Grilled the sandwiches on direct heat using my skillet as a press.

These sandwiches and especially the mojo marinade have always intrigued me but this was my first attempt making them. I completely understand what the big deal is about now.

Darren, that looks great! I have a 8# pork butt that's getting the Cuban Mojo marinate and then I'm cooking it on Christmas Eve.

The cubano is in my top 3 favorite sandwiches. Love the pork shoulder , but one time I had one in a restaurant with smoked turkey in place of the pork? And it was pretty darn good . Yours looks excellent right there.
