Instant Pot Pulled Pork Sandwich with Mojo (Cuban Pan Con Lechon)

If you like 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐣𝐨, you will want this Instant Pot Cuban "𝐏𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐧" recipe! Pan con Lechon which means Bread with Pork, is a staple of the Cuban street food scene, but unfortunately, so many get it wrong. But don't worry, no matter how far you are from Miami, this Cuban pull pork sandwich with its authentic garlicky, citrus taste of Cuban Mojo will transport you there!

If you follow the Cuban Redneck, you know I love slow cook Cuban roast pork, as well as many of my followers. You guys have made my slow-cooked Cuban roast pork video recipe #1 on YouTube https://youtu.be/VOVsG4JwNAU/?cuban-roast-pork. But if you can't imagine waiting 10-12 hours for a pulled pork sandwich, especially if you are serving a small group, don't worry. I got you covered as well.

Yes, this pulled pork sandwiches recipe will not require 10-12 hours of slow-cooking pork. It is only going to take you about 45 minutes! And don't worry, your guests won't know the difference. However, in situations like this, we have to dust off the Instant Pot and get creative. Not only that, but once you master this Cuban pulled pork sandwiches recipe, I think you will make it more often than you think!

One of the secrets to many Cuban dishes is Mojo. A Cuban mojo is a sauce or marinade made with garlic, olive oil, or pork lard, and a citrus juice, traditionally bitter oranges. Check out this video - https://youtu.be/XC6YsThVQiE/?cuban-mojo-recipe. For this pull pork sandwich, we are going to need both versions, the mojo marinade, and the mojo sauce.

We'll start by marinating about 2 lbs of pork country ribs in mojo marinade for at least 2-3 hours. Overnight is even better. This amount of pork will make about 2 to 3 foot-long sandwiches. Consider about 8 to 10 ounces of uncooked pork per foot-long sandwich. If you can find foot-long Cuban rolls, that is the way to go! I often make an entire Cuban bread loaf that will require about 3 lbs. of pork. IF you can't find Cuban bread in your area, consider my Cuban Bread video - https://youtu.be/u9auEJQYfgc/?receta-de-pan-cubano. If that is too much to ask, consider French (not the thin baguette) or Puerto Rican bread.

After the pork has marinated for a while, we'll deposit the pork and the marinade into the Instant Pot bowl. We are going to cook this in pressure cook mode for 30-minutes. Once complete, we'll give it 10-15 minutes of natural release and do the remainder manually. Be careful since everything here is HOT. Pull the pork out of the Instant Pot Bowl and into a large plate or baking dish, as shown in the video, and marinate in another container. We then need to pull the pork into stringy pieces. My go-to tool is a fork and the tungs, but two forks will do. With all the pork now pulled, let's put it back into the now empty Instant Pot bowl, add a little mojo sauce, and work it into the pork by tossing it with the tungs. Dress it with some raw onion rings, a little more Mojo, and back to the Instant Pot, we go.

This time we are going to use the air fryer lid and the broil function at 400 degrees for 7-minutes. After the 7-minutes have expired, tose the pork one more time. Try to get all the pieces at the bottom to the top and back to broil for about 3 minutes. At which time you are ready to serve.

The 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐧 does not take lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, or anything like that. Simply load your roll with pork, perhaps a few extra pieces of onion, and a bit more Mojo sauce to taste!

If that sound too simple, that is the whole point. This 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 is so simple it throws people for a spin. They try to ake it sophisticate by adding all sorts of things, but that is just a downgrade! Now, if you like lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and stuff like that, no problem, but please, at least once, have a Cuban 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 that way was meant to be! Thank you for watching, and I look forward to seeing you next week with another recipe from the Cuban Redneck Kitchen.
