Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

For pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 205°C. Drizzle the pork with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer the pork to a rack set in a heavy-bottomed baking dish.

Roast the pork for about an hour, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 140°F (60°C). Let the meat rest for 10 minutes, then set aside 140°F (600g) for the sandwich. Slice the pork into 0.5cm-thick slices. Use the remaining pork in another recipe.
For the moyo paste: Place mayonnaise, oil, cilantro, salt, garlic, lime juice in a bowl and mix until smooth and thick.

To assemble the sandwich: Heat a large 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Spread the top half of each bun with 2 tablespoons of mojo paste and 2 tablespoons of mustard. Place the pork on the bottom half of the bun and season with a pinch of salt. Top with ham, cheese, and pickles. Top the bottom half with the top bun.

Grease a skillet with butter, place 2 sandwiches in the skillet, and grease the surface with butter. Press the sandwiches on top with another cast-iron skillet filled with a heavy can. You can also use a panini press.

Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other side, 2-3 minutes per side. Fry the remaining 2 sandwiches.
