I recreated Seattle's Caribbean roast pork sandwich experience in my own kitchen. I've created recipes for all the components and two different ways to make the Mojo pork. I got a chance to try Un Bien's Caribbean pork sandwich and my version is pretty close to theirs. Click through to read.

boundedbybuns.comCaribbean drama in SeattleThere's a citrusy and garlicky mess of a pork-filled sandwich that is so well known and appreciated in Seattle that it's in the running for the official sandwich of the city. How did it get its start, and is it worthy of the title?

I used to live near the original Un Bien and I could smell the onions cooking in the morning as I drove by. A classic.

Ahh, that would be good and bad depending on how hungry you were... 😂

Great piece? Thoughts on a good protein sub for the swine-abstinent? I am thinking either turkey thigh or veal chuck.

Would you use a slow cooker or oven-roasted? I know turkey breasts do well in the slow cooker, so I would think mixing a combo of breast and thigh, or just thigh, would work with the spices/liquid. I've never cooked turkey thigh like this, but I see a bunch of recipes for time and/or temp.

I am thinking an oven braise in a similar liquid would probably work. Like 250 in a staub with the lid ajar…I’ll give it a shot this weekend! Love the blog.
