Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can rub the pork shoulder with the Caribbean spices before marinating.
• If you prefer a spicier slaw, add more jalapeno or a dash of hot sauce.
• To save time, you can use pre-shredded cabbage and carrots for the slaw.
• These sandwiches are best served fresh, but you can store any leftover pork and slaw separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover pork and slaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• To reheat the pork, place it in a microwave-safe dish and heat on medium power until warmed through.
• Serve the sandwiches with a side of plantain chips or sweet potato fries for a complete Caribbean-inspired meal.
