Miniature Pork Sandwiches — Appetizers for up to 100

I wish I had a photo of these, they are the most adorable tasty little guys you can serve. You can make them Big Pork Sandwiches as a main course but small pork sandwiches make the kind of appetizer that a cocktail party requires.

People tend to drink when they are uncomfortable and drunk uncomfortable people are the bane of any event. On many occasion this pork sandwich has come to the rescue. It is also one of Erik's most requested recipes.

Heat the Oven at 350°

Cut 4lbs of pork butt into 2 inch cubes
(leave the fat on)

Marinade:
Annato paste 2 Tbsp
cumin 1 tsp
paprika 2 Tbsp
thyme 1 tsp
oregano 1 tsp
black pepper 1 tsp
salt 2 Tbsp
garlic 4 cloves
onion 1/2 cup
jalapenos with seeds 4 to 8
(your choice for spice)
beer 1/2 can
orange juice from 1
lime juice from 1

All the marinade ingredients go into a blender. Make smooth.

Pour onto pork and let sit: overnight.

Line a roasting pan with the banana leaves and place the pork in the center, cover with the leaves and foil and into the oven. After 3 hours check the meat. The pork will be ready when the meat easily breaks apart. When this happens remove from the oven, let cool. When the pork is cool enough to handle by hand, but not yet cool, shred with a couple of forks.
We serve them with coleslaw a little mayo and carolina sauce.
