Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F or 180C.
In a large saucepan heat oil over medium-high heat, brown the roast on all sides in order to seal in the juices. Sear 2-3 minutes per side.
Spread mustard on top of the pork, add salt, oregano, paprika on top. Add the chopped onion and hot water.
Cover and cook in the oven for 1½ hours, or on very low heat for the same time on the stove.
Allow cooling completely. Cut the meat into thin slices. Return the meat to the pot with the juices.
For the sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the toasted bread, layer the meat (be generous) and top with your favorite toppings: most traditional is tomato and mashed avocado.
Serve right away.
