- Cut several slits across the pork shoulder. Stuff the slits with the garlic mixture and rub it all over the meat.
- Place seasoned pork and citrus juices and red wine vinegar in a gallon freezer bag. Let sit overnight in the fridge to marinate.
- Place marinated pork in a roasting rack, with the marinade in the roasting pan.
- Roast at 450F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, loosely tent with foil, and roast at 375F for 2 hours.
- Once the pork is cooked and tender, let rest for 20 minutes, and then slice.
Sandwich Fixings
- Slice hero bread and butter.
- Toast in a pan until lightly golden. Smear mustard and layer roasted pork slices, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, and more mustard.
- Heat in the pan with a heavy pan to gently press the sandwich.
- Once the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, slice and serve.
