- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 90 min
- Makes: 1 serving (431 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 150 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 90 g Bolillo rolls
- 60 g Carrots, raw
- 50 g Onions, raw
- 15 g Vinegar, white
- 20 g Lettuce, romaine, raw
- 40 g Tomatoes, raw
- 5 g Chili peppers, red, raw
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Rub the pork shoulder with half the salt and roast at 180°C (350°F) for 1-1.5 hours, until very tender and the skin (if left on) is crisp; a thermometer should read at least 74°C (165°F).
- Meanwhile make the escabeche: cut the carrot into thin matchsticks, slice half the onion thinly, and simmer both in the vinegar with a splash of water and the remaining salt for 8-10 minutes until just tender; cool.
- Slice the remaining onion and the tomato thinly, and finely chop the chili for a quick yellow-chili salsa.
- Rest the roasted pork for 5 minutes, then slice or shred it.
- Split the bread roll and pile in the pork, lettuce, sliced tomato and onion.
- Top with the carrot-and-onion escabeche and a scattering of chopped chili, then serve while the pork is still warm.
