What's
for Lunch: Cuban Sandwich
“Soon after
arriving in this country, the children were pulled front and center to
translate. To our parents our second grade English was better than no English
at all, but at seven years old, we barely had a grasp of our native Spanish!
Ah, the frustration, the misinterpretation, the incomprehension, the futile
attempts at communication. But alas, we had our Cuban Sandwich and we ate it
too!” Ivonne
Ingredients:
Cuban bread
Roast Pork (I
made a Hormel boneless pork roast - onion and garlic flavor - threw it into a
crock pot until done)
Sweet Ham,
thick sliced
Swiss cheese
Dill pickles
Yellow
mustard (optional)
Butter
Directions:
To prepare
the sandwich slice the bread horizontally and spread butter on both inside
halves.
Lay the
pickles on the bottom half followed by a layer of roast pork, then ham and Swiss
cheese.
You can
spread mustard on the inside top half.
Close the
sandwich, spread a little butter on the top and place it on a Panini press
(okay, I
know you don't have one, but I bet you have a George Foreman grill
which works the same,
if not then place the sandwich on a hot (not too hot)
lightly greased frying pan. Place a
heavy iron skillet on top of the sandwich
to flatten.)
The sandwich
should be compressed to about 1/3 its original height.
Grill the
sandwiches, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
Slice the
sandwich in half diagonally and serve.
