Cuba: Day Two

When I heard that we were making Cuban food for MKMW, the first thing that I thought of was the yummy Cuban sandwiches that we used to eat in Tampa. EVERYONE ate these. In fact, no one actually said, "I'll have a Cuban sandwich." When you order one, you simply say, "I'll have a Cuban."

(Sounds kind of like you're asking for Ricky Ricardo, "one cuban light on the babaloo.")

Anyhow... after making the roast pork, I suddenly found myself in possession of all the fixings for a cuban sandwich. Roast pork sliced thin, ham, swiss cheese (I substituted with provolone), mustard, mayo and most importantly a sandwich-sliced pickle. ( I don't even like dill pickles and I never put them on my sandwiches, but I love this.) Pile all that up and press it in a panini maker,or between two frying pans, like I did, and there you have it.... One of the best sandwiches ever!
