The recipe called for a bone in pork shoulder. I picked up a 3lb boneless Duroc shoulder and added a couple of ham hocks for flavor and collagen as the marinade becomes the sauce and it is delicious. I transferred the ham hocks to the bean pot after braising was completed then shredded the meat in the beans before discarding the bones. The flavor combo in the sandwich is fantastic - Toasted Baguette/ garlic aioli/ cilantro/ pickled jalapeno/ braised pork/ sauteed onions/ more cilantro/ romaine lettuce/ more garlic aioli. This was a huge hit with the family, completely worth the effort, and I'll definitely be doing it again.

Prepping for Superbowl party this Sunday. This marinated caribbean pork recipe is so good I'm using it as a base for Brunswick Stew and Mini Caribbean Pork Sliders. The house smells absolutely amazing! Braised this bone in pork shoulder for 6 hours!
