Cuban Sandwhich

Whenever I make pulled pork, I make some Cuban Sandwiches with the leftover pulled pork.   

CUBAN BREAD

(serves 4)

Sauce Ingredients:

*1/2 cup mayonnaise 

*1/2 cup mustard

*A dash or two of hot sauce 

Sandwich Ingredients:

*2 loafs of Cuban Bread or 4 good hoagie buns.

*16 slices Swiss Cheese (I have my Swiss cheese cut on the thin size)

*1 pound shaved or  thinly cut slices of ham, heated up

*3 1/2 - 4 cups pulled pork

*2 large dill pickles, sliced thinly lengthwise 

*4 tablespoons butter

Sauce Directions:

~In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together.

~Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Sandwich Directions:

~Trim the ends of the cuban bread and then cut the bread in half to make enough for 4 sandwiches.

~Now cut each bread/hoagie roll in half lengthwise to separate the tops and bottoms.

~Spread each half with sauce.

~On each sandwich bottom, place 2 slices of Swiss cheese.

~Divide the hot ham between the 4 sandwiches.

~Put another 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each sandwich. 

~Put 2 slices of pickles on top the Swiss cheese.

~Place the tops on the sandwiches and butter both sides.

~Place sandwiches on skillet (I use a cast iron pan).

~Turn heat to medium heat.

~Cook until bread is a golden brown.

~Flip sandwich and press down sandwich with a heavy skillet or wrapped brick.

~Cook until bread is a golden brown.

~Remove from heat and enjoy.
