Spice up your lunch with this super scrumptious Cubano Sandwich!
A Cubano sandwich is a pork sandwich that is easy to make, yet super rich in flavor. To make the real-deal sandwich, using two types of pork is a must – deli-style ham and roast pork loin. To get these ingredients, simply stop by the deli counter of any large supermarket. Use thicker slices of ham and pork loin, so you can make your sandwich extra rich. After getting the main ingredients, you just need to brush the bread with plenty of mayonnaise and mustard, add sliced cheese, and pickles. That’s it!
To finish up the sandwich, the most convenient way is to use a sandwich press. If you don’t have one, no worries! You can grill the sandwich using your frying pan on the stovetop, and it’s really easy. I used a cast iron pan for weight on top of the sandwich, to mimic the effect of a sandwich press. You can use any heavy pot or dutch oven to achieve this. Don’t have a heavy pan? Use a deep pot and fill it with water.
The Cubano sandwich can be made ahead of serving. After toasting the bread in the pan, wrap the sandwich in foil and store it in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. You can heat the sandwich in the oven right before serving. The bread will stay crispy and the sandwich juicy.
