Pan Con Lechon (Roasted Pork Sandwich)

These are scrumptious - so says 98% of the people here in South Florida! The best ones come from the street vendors. The Cubans don't need an excuse to make these, they are usually made after they've roasted a pig the night before or just because. I found two recipes that can be used, that resemble the pork roasts' seasonings of Cuba. They are Cuban Roast Pork or Puerto Rican Style Pernil (Roast Pork) or use whatever roast pork recipe you choose. Show more
