Directions

  1. Step 1

    Make PORK SHOULDER: In saucepot, combine chopped tomatoes, Valencia orange juice, garlic, onion, oregano, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes; allow marinade to cool to room temperature. Arrange pork in a hotel pan and cover with marinade. Refrigerate overnight.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat oven to 450°F.

  3. Step 3

    Baste pork with excess marinade and place in the oven. After 5 minutes, reduce heat to 225°F and roast for approximately 5-6 hours, basting occasionally until thermometer inserted in pork reads 195°F. Allow pork to cool slightly, and shred.

  4. Step 4

    Make HOT AND TANGY TOMATO JAM: In a small saucepot, combine chopped tomatoes, green chiles, orange juice and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce, stirring often, until mixture is thick and syrupy.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and let cool.

  6. Step 6

    To Build One Sandwich: Combine lettuce and cabbage, and mix well.
