Cuban Sandwich Recipe from the Movie Chef

cuban bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white sandwich bread

Whole grain bread offers more fiber and nutrients.

roast pork

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Turkey breast is leaner, while pork shoulder is more economical.

Boil the mojo pork in a sealed bag to reheat it.

Butter a large cast iron griddle or panini press.

Add ham slices to the griddle and cook over moderate heat until browned, turning once.

Generously butter the cut sides of the Cuban bread and toast on the griddle until lightly browned.

Brush the cut sides of the toasted bread with mustard.

Layer ham, Swiss cheese, mojo pork, and pickles on the bread.

Close the sandwich with the other half of the bread.

Brush both sides of the sandwich generously with butter.

If not using a panini press, place a foil-wrapped brick on top of the sandwich to press it down.
