Prepare the mojo marinade by combining a quarter cup of orange juice, a quarter cup of lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, parsley, and oregano in a blender.

Marinate the pork in the mojo mixture in a zip lock bag overnight.

Bake the pork in the oven at 350°F, covering it at first and then uncovering it later to finish cooking.

Build the sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on one side of the bread and Italian hot pepper relish on the other side.

Layer the sandwich with provolone cheese, rosemary mortadella, capicola, and the roasted pork.

Press the sandwich down in a panini press or grill it.

Fry plantains twice until golden brown and crispy.
