1. Mix the brown sugar and sea salt in a small bowl. Rub it generously onto the pork butt. Place in the slow cooker and cook on low for up to eight hours or on high for 4 or 5 hours.
2. When the pork is ready, pull it out using two large forks to transfer the meat to a large bowl. Be careful because the meat will be falling apart.
3. Once the meat is in the bowl, finish shredding, using a fork. Then pour some of the liquid on the pork and set aside.

Preparing the Sandwich
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to broil, but position the rack on the third level.
2. Spread some mayonaisse on the top inside piece, if desired. Place one to two pieces on cheese inside along with two to three slices of tomatoe. Spread some butter on top and place on a baking sheet.
3. Broil for 1 minute, maybe 2, until the cheese is melted and the bread is softened.
4. Place the prepared bread on individual plates and put the cooked pork into each sandwich and serve.

Instead of broiling the bread (which can even be done open-faced), one can microwave it to prevent the risk of burning it. Assemble the sandwich the same way, minus the butter, and microwave for 20-25 seconds. Spread some butter on top and let it melt and then place the shredded pork inside.
Leaf Lettuce Salad
While the pork cooks, prepare the salad.
Ingredients:

• 1-2 heads leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and cut into pieces
• 2-4 golden apples, washed and cut into thin slices or cubes
• 3/4 cup, fresh shredded parmigiano-reggiano
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 1/2-1 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine the oil and honey in a dish, whisk together well and set aside.
2. Toss the lettuce, apples, cheese, and salt together. Add the honey and oil mix and toss together well and serve.

This is a simple salad, and can be used as an easy complimentary side dish to almost any meal.
This pork sandwich with some salad on the side is great for entertaining or just for a family meal. Most of all, it is easy to prepare and big on taste.
