Q n E Cuban!

Cuban Sandwiches

• 1 loaf soft French bread, or four soft hoagie rolls
• mayonnaise
• Cuban Style Roast Pork, thinly sliced (recipe follows)
• 8 very thin slices Virginia Ham
• 8 thin slices Swiss cheese
• 2 kosher dill pickles, very thinly sliced longways (I like the kind from the refrigerated section of the supermarket)
• butter, for brushing on the outside of the bread

1. Preheat a panini press or a sandwich press (or just warm up two cast iron skillets on the stove). Slice bread in half longways, and then cut into 4 equal sections to make the sandwiches.

2. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of the bread. Divide the sliced pork evenly among the sandwiches, then layer with ham, cheese, and pickles. Brush a very small amount of butter on the outside of each sandwich. Toast sandwiches in the press (or place in one cast iron skillet, and place another skillet on top of the sandwich). Remove when the cheese is melted and the meat is warmed through. Slice on the diagonal, and serve.
