THE ULTIMATE CUBAN SANDWICH



The Ultimate Cuban Sandwich image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h24m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound boneless pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed with the side of your knife
1/4 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 lime, juiced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 long Cuban bread roll
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
1 cup bread and butter pickles
8 thin slices deli ham
Olive oil
You can do this in a regular Dutch oven, but for convenience and time use a pressure cooker as follows:

Steps:

  • Begin by braising the pork shoulder. Tie the shoulder in 4 places with kitchen twine so it will hold its shape while being cooked or ask your butcher to do this for you. Season the pork with salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Set the base of a pressure cooker over low-medium heat and add a 2 count of olive oil.
  • Add garlic and chili flakes and as the oil heats up it will become fragrant and infuse the oil. Add the pork. Add onions around the pork and brown slightly before adding orange juice, lime juice, stock and bay leaves.
  • Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 20 to 25 minutes depending on the size of your pressure cooker. The pork should be tender when done. When done allow to cool in juices before removing twine and slicing.
  • To prepare Cuban sandwiches, split bread in half then layer the sandwich with mustard, cheese, pickles, ham, pork then cheese again (the cheese glues everything together). Season with salt and pepper in between the ham and pork layers. (Optional: drizzle a little of the pork braising liquid over the meat as well).
  • To cook, heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and top with another heavy skillet and a couple of heavy weights (bricks, or cans of tomatoes work well). Press down firmly and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the sandwich has compressed to about a third of its original size and the bread is super-crispy. Serve with beans, rice and plantain chips.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 hoagie rolls
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/4 pound baked ham, thinly sliced
1/4 pound roast pork, thinly sliced
1/4 pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced
10 thin dill pickle slices, approximately 2 whole pickles
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Slice the bread horizontally in half, leaving 1 edge intact. Lay the bread open and spread each side with the mustard. Divide the ingredients evenly among the slices of roll. Start with the ham followed by the pork, cheese, and dill pickles. Bring the tops and bottoms together.
  • Heat your panini maker or sandwich press. Butter each side of the press. Place the sandwiches inside, press down and grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is flat and browned, approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a sandwich press, you can heat 6 fireplace bricks wrapped in foil, in a 500 degrees F oven for 1 hour and then press the sandwich between them for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Time 25m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Two 12- to 14-inch French baguettes, cut in half lengthwise
4 tablespoons Dijon or stone-ground mustard
1 pound pulled pork, plain (not glazed or barbeque)
10 to 12 pickle slices
8 to 10 ounces ham, sliced
8 slices Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

Steps:

  • To prepare the Cuban, butter the top and bottom interior side of each baguette and place in a skillet over medium heat to brown and crisp the bread. Once browned, remove the baguettes from the skillet and begin to layer each sandwich with 1 tablespoon mustard, 4 ounces pulled pork, 2 slices pickle, 2 to 3 ounces ham and 2 slices Swiss cheese. After stacking the sandwiches, return the skillet to the stove over medium heat and warm with the oil. Add the sandwiches in batches and weigh down with a heavy skillet. Grill until crisp on the exterior, 1 to 2 minutes. Then flip and repeat the process on the second side. Once cooked on both sides, remove and repeat with the remaining sandwiches, then serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 medium onion, cut into 4 slices
1 Cubanelle pepper, halved, seeded and cored
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 long Italian loaf, sliced in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup Mojo Mustard, recipe follows
12 thin slices deli ham (about 12 ounces)
2 cups homemade or store-bought carnitas, recipe follows (see Cook's Note)
6 dill gherkins, sliced in thirds lengthwise
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup yellow mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons chili paste
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Zest of 1 orange plus 1 tablespoon orange juice
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes, with fat cap scored
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cinnamon sticks
1 yellow onion, quartered
1/2 cup orange soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Zest and juice from 1 large orange

Steps:

  • Preheat a sandwich press to medium heat.
  • Drizzle the onion and pepper with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the onion and pepper on the sandwich press, close and cook until tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Slice into strips.
  • Brush the outside of the bottom half of the bread with some of the melted butter. Brush the inside of both halves with a generous amount of the Mojo Mustard. On the bottom half of the bread, layer the sliced deli ham and top with the carnitas. Top with the gherkins, grilled onion and peppers and finally the cheese. Top with the top half of the bread and brush with more butter. Slice in half widthwise.
  • Place both halves in the sandwich press, close, press down and cook until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Cut in half to make 4 sandwiches.
  • Mix together the mustard, honey, chili paste, oregano, cumin, orange zest and juice, lime zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Set the slow cooker to high. Put the pork cubes in the slow cooker and season all over with the chipotle powder and some salt. Turn any pieces with the fat cap upright. Nestle in the garlic, cinnamon sticks and yellow onion. Pour the orange soda, vegetable oil and orange juice and zest over the pork. Cover and cook on high until super tender, about 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to broil.
  • Transfer the pork chunks to a baking sheet fat-side up. Let the liquid in the slow cooker settle so the fat is on the surface. Scoop off about 1/4 cup of the fat and drizzle over the pork chunks. Broil until the meat is crispy and the fat is bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes.

CUBAN SANDWICH (CUBANO)



Cuban Sandwich (Cubano) image

Here's how to make the BEST Traditional Cuban Sandwich, a.k.a. the Cubano, at home! Layers of mojo-marinated pork roast, ham, cheese, and pickles make this sandwich outstanding. Serve toasted grilled bread sandwich hot or cold!

Provided by Marta Rivera

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Sandwich     Quick and Easy

Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-pound loaf Cuban or Italian bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 small clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
8 ounces thinly sliced Swiss cheese, about 10 slices
1 pound shredded pork roast , heated until warmed through
sliced dill pickles, as needed
10 slices Black Forest or smoked ham
To serve:
Potato chips
Dill pickles

Steps:

  • Heat your skillet or griddle: I like to use two cast iron skillets nested on top of one another, pressing the sandwich in between. To use this method, place both skillets (one on top of the other) over medium heat and let them heat through. If using a panini press set it to medium heat. The skillet or griddle shouldn't be screaming hot, but it should radiate enough heat to toast the bread slowly. If you aren't using the double pan method or a panini press, just use anything you have to weigh the sandwich down - a foil wrapped brick, your spatula, whatever you have will do.
  • Serve: Remove your sandwich from the skillet or griddle. Slice your sandwich according to the number of guests you need to serve and serve the sandwich with a handful of chips and a pickle or two. LEFTOVERS! Leftovers should be wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator. They may be reheated by cooking the same as above.

CHEF JOHN'S CUBAN SANDWICH



Chef John's Cuban Sandwich image

Here's how I build a Cuban, or Cubano, sandwich. I like to use pulled pork. Carnitas would work too. These ingredients and amounts are open to your own personal preferences, but here's the general idea.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 21m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 (8 ounce) loaf Cuban bread
8 slices Swiss cheese
6 thin slices smoked fully-cooked ham
1 ½ cups cooked pulled pork, heated
1 large dill pickle, sliced thinly lengthwise
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and cayenne together in a bowl to make the sauce.
  • Trim off ends of bread. Cut loaf in half and evenly split bread to make tops and bottoms of 2 sandwiches. Spread each half on both sides generously with the mayo/mustard sauce.
  • Divide sandwich ingredients between the two bottom halves in this order: 2 slices Swiss cheese, 3 slices ham, hot cooked pork, pickle slices, and 2 more slices of Swiss cheese. Place tops on sandwiches.
  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and press down with a heavy weight (such as another skillet or foil-wrapped bricks). Toast sandwiches until bread is crisp and filling is heated through, 3 or 4 minutes per side.

CLASSIC CUBAN MIDNIGHT (MEDIANOCHE) SANDWICH



Classic Cuban Midnight (Medianoche) Sandwich image

This is one of the more famous sandwiches straight out of the island of Cuba. This recipe came from my uncle who used to work at a restaurant in Pinar del Rio, Cuba and now works at a Cuban cafeteria here in Miami. This sandwich is best served with fried plantain chips and a cold mamey milkshake!

Provided by Pretty Pink Bullets

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 23m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet bread rolls
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup prepared mustard
1 pound thinly sliced cooked ham
1 pound thinly sliced fully cooked pork
1 pound sliced Swiss cheese
1 cup dill pickle slices
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Split the sandwich rolls in half, and spread mustard and mayonnaise liberally onto the cut sides. On each sandwich, place and equal amount of Swiss cheese, ham and pork in exactly that order. Place a few pickles onto each one, and put the top of the roll onto the sandwich. Brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Press each sandwich in a sandwich press heated to medium-high heat. If a sandwich press is not available, use a large skillet over medium-high heat, and press the sandwiches down using a sturdy plate or skillet. Some indoor grills may be good for this also. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, keeping sandwiches pressed. If using a skillet, you may want to flip them once for even browning. Slice diagonally and serve hot.

CUBAN SANDWICH



Cuban Sandwich image

It is generally believed that the Cuban cigar workers who migrated to the Tampa, FL area/Ybor City back in the early 1900's brought the Cuban sandwich to the US. Originally called the "mixto" or mixed sandwich, the Cuban, as it is known today, became a workingman's lunch for those employed in the cigar industry. Note--if you can't get sour oranges in your area, try equal parts of orange and grapefruit juice or 2 parts orange juice to 1 part lemon juice and 1 part lime juice.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h34m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 cup minced onion
1 cup sour orange juice
1/2 cup Spanish olive oil
1 (2 lb) boneless center cut pork loin roast
Cuban bread
butter, softened
sliced dill pickle
1 lb thinly sliced cuban cooked pork
1 lb thinly sliced good-quality ham
1/2 lb thinly sliced mild swiss cheese
yellow mustard (optional)
mayonnaise (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the Cuban Roast Pork: Mash the garlic and salt together using a mortar/pestle.
  • Place the mash mixture in a small bowl; add in oregano, onion, and sour orange juice; mix thoroughly.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add in the mash mixture and whisk to blend.
  • Remove from heat and set marinade aside.
  • Pierce the pork roast with a sharp knife or fork.
  • Set aside a small amount of the marinade for use during the roasting period.
  • Pour remaining marinade over the pork, cover, and refrigerate 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 325°; remove pork from marinade and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Sprinkle reserved marinade over pork.
  • Roast until completely cooked and a meat thermometer registers 160° (about 20 minutes per lb).
  • Baste occasionally with the pan juices.
  • Remove pork from oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes before thinly slicing the meat.
  • Bring remaining pan juices to a boil and simmer until juice is reduced by half; use this juice to sprinkle onto the meat in the sandwiches.
  • To make the sandwiches: cut the bread into 4 sections, each about 8 inches long; slice these sections in half horizontally; spread butter on the inside of both halves.
  • Generously layer sandwiches with filling ingredients in the following order: pickles, roasted pork, ham, and cheese.
  • Spread with the optional mustard or mayonnaise if desired.
  • Preheat a pancake griddle or large skillet.
  • Lightly coat hot griddle or skillet with cooking spray; add in the first sandwich (make sure that your griddle or skillet is not too hot or the crust will burn before the cheese melts).
  • Place a heavy iron skillet on top of the sandwich to flatten it (you want to smash the sandwich, compressing the bread to about a third of its original size).
  • Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
  • Repeat the process for each sandwich.
  • Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve.
  • Note--Additions like Genoa salami, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion have become popular in the past forty years but are considered heresy by purists; in the old days, the sandwich was brushed on the outside with a small amount of pork drippings.

Time 23m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf Cuban bread
1-ounce regular mustard
4 dill pickles
5 slices boiled ham or Virginia ham
2 slices roast pork
1 slice imported Swiss cheese
1-ounce butter

Steps:

  • Cut Cuban bread to desired size, common size is 7 inches. Next, slice open the bread down the middle. On the topside of the bread spread 1-ounce of mustard, evenly across. Then place 4 pickles on top of the mustard. You then place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on top of the pickles. Slice ham to desired thickness, recommended size is 1 1/2 ounces per slice, the thinner the better. Now fold each slice of ham in half and place evenly on bottom of bread. On top of the ham, place slices of roast pork, 1 1/2 ounces per slice. You then join both halves of the sandwich. You are now ready to grill your Cuban sandwich.
  • Use a sandwich grill if you have one, a waffle iron if not. Spread butter on top of the bread evenly. Close the grill, smashing the sandwich. Leave sandwich in the grill until top of bread turns to a golden brown, and top is crisp. Approximate time is 4 to 6 minutes. After the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich carefully and slice it diagonally, from corner to corner. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OVEN!

CUBANO SANDWICHES RECIPE BY TASTY



Cubano Sandwiches Recipe by Tasty image

Provided by Visit Florida

Categories     Lunch

Time 5h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 head garlic, cloves seperated and peeled
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
⅓ cup fresh oregano
⅓ cup fresh orange juice, (from about 1 large orange)
¼ cup fresh lime juice, from about 3 limes
¼ cup olive oil
2 lb boneless pork shoulder
2 loaves cuban bread, halved crosswise and lengthwise
16 slices sweet ham, baked
8 slices salami
8 slices swiss cheese
4 kosher pickles, thinly sliced lengthwise
4 tablespoons yellow mustard
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make the roasted pork: In a blender, combine the garlic cloves, cumin, pepper, salt, oregano, orange juice, and lime juice. Blend on high speed until smooth.

Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving (if you have time, you can refrigerate the pork overnight so it's easier to slice).
  • Cut 12 slices of pork for the sandwiches and reserve the rest for another use.
  • Make the sandwiches: Heat a 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Set the bottom halves of the Cuban bread on a cutting board and layer each piece with 4 slices of ham, 3 slices of pork, 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 4 pickle slices.
  • Slather 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard on the inside of each top half of bread, then place on top of each sandwich.
  • Brush the tops of the sandwiches with melted butter, then place in the hot skillet, top side down. Place a small pan on top of sandwiches and weigh down with a heavy can. Cook until the bread begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Uncover and flip the sandwiches, then press again and cook until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes more.
  • Slice the sandwiches in half and serve.
  • Enjoy!

SLOW-COOKER CUBANO SANDWICHES



Slow-Cooker Cubano Sandwiches image

This recipe came about because I didn't have pepperoncini for my usual Italian pork recipe so I used pickles instead. It reminded me so much of a Cuban sandwich that I added the ham and Swiss cheese to complete the dish. Instead of adding cheese to the slow cooker, you can also build the sandwiches and top with sliced cheese. Place under the broiler to melt. -Kristie Schley, Severna Park, Maryland

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
8 submarine buns, split
