Pressed Cubano Sandwich

Print Options
Description
Pressed Cuban-type sandwich made with simple ingredients. No panini grill necessary!
Ingredients
- 2 slices Good Bread
- ½ teaspoons Yellow Mustard
- 2 slices Ham
- 2 slices Roasted Pork (or Smoked Turkey If You Are Lacking)
- 3 slices Good Dill Pickles
- 2 slices Swiss Cheese, Or If You Dare, Manchego
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- Oil For Pan
Preparation
Most people use a panini grill for these sandwiches, but I use a good cast iron pan (or grill pan) weighted down with another cast iron pan. Refer to the related link for pictures.
Heat the cast iron pan on medium low for about 3-5 minutes while you assemble the sandwich. Butter the bread, and layer ingredients to taste.
Put enough olive oil (you can use butter or vegetable oil) in the pan, let oil heat for a minute and gently place the sandwich in the pan. Weight down with whatever works for you. I use another cast iron pan and my handy tea kettle filled with water. Cook low and slow, checking after about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat.

Sandwiches are my favorite!!! I marinated my pork in a mojito marinade before roasting. It was delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

ahhh! so you don’t have to wash it! INGENIOUS!! Little did I know how many other people use the pan squashing technique, like I do. Makes me feel…
…not so cheap.

My family loves these! I usually use french bread, and if I don’t have leftover pork roast, I have gotten thin sliced boneless pork chops, and pounded them out pretty flat, before pan grilling them. I use my heavy Le Creuset Dutch oven and put a piece of foil over sandwich before squishing it down with the pan…so I don’t have to wash it!:D).
