This Cuban Sandwich Blew My Mind!

El Cubano…. aka The Cuban sandwich - Miami’s version of the cheesesteak! 🥖 💃🏻

This sandwich is brought to you in a partnership with @missouripork #ad

I started with the Cuban Roast Pork (Lechon asado) 🐖 that I made from scratch (recipe is in last weeks post)) and put this tasty treat together on my @lococookers griddle. The sandwich is made from simple ingredients and came together nicely. You know I like my sammiches like I like my humor…CHEESY! So, I added Swiss Cheese 🧀 to both sides of the bread. I know that’s not traditional but trust me, it was well worth it.

Here’s how to make it:
🥖 start with placing some Cuban roast pork on your hot griddle. Place a bacon press or burger press on the griddle to heat it up as well.
🥖 Cut your Cuban bread in half, coat the outside of the bread with a garlic and melted butter mixture.
🥖 slather the inside of each side with yellow mustard.
🥖 layer each side of the bread with Swiss cheese.
🥖 layer the bottom half with slices of ham and top it with your heated Cuban roast pork.
🥖 add a layer of thinly sliced dill pickles on top of the pork and close the sandwich. (You can also add a layer of salami, that is how it is traditionally done in the Tampa area.)
🥖 place the sandwich on the hot griddle and place the heated bacon press on top. Cook until the bread browns and turns crispy.
🥖 remove the sandwich from the griddle, cut it in half on an angle, (I believe this is a law) and get yourself a side of potato sticks.

If you have never had one, change that, it’s a must!

The most authentic sandwich I’ve seen made from anyone that’s not Cuban

Ever since I had this sandwich in Miami, I’ve been craving it

I like making mine at home like that, with the swiss cheese on both sides? But the real way it's made is with Deli sliced roast Leg of pork? That way the pork pieces don't fall out everywhere? 👌
