Cubano Pressed Sandwich

This is Miami and I love sandwiches so this was a natural, surprised it took this long to do this. This classic costs $7 takes 15 minutes and feeds 2.

Cuban Sandwich
2 Cuban Rolls - sorry there is no substitute
1/3 lb roasted pork
1/3 lb roasted ham
4 sliced bread and butter pickles
4 slices Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown mustard

Mustard both sides of the cut roll. Place pork on bottom followed by ham, pickles, then cheese on top. Place it on the panini press for a few minutes and press down. Slice and serve. Oye, que vola?

Prime Roasted Beef and Cole Slaw on Rye

This sandwich hits all the right notes. I first toasted the bread on the panini press, otherwise the bread would get soggy and the cole slaw would get hot, neither of which is a desirable outcome. I started with the prime roast beef they have at Epicure, a local high grocery store, which is perfectly cooked rare. Then I dressed the meat with a bit of the creamy horseradish sauce listed below. Finally it was topped off with the shredded cole slaw they also had at Epicure. The rich meat, spicy dressing and sweet creamy cole slaw make this a perfect sandwich in only a few minutes.


Creamy Horseradish Dressing

1 tablespoon, sour cream
1 teaspoon, prepared horseradish
1 dash, Worcestershire sauce
fresh cracked pepper

Mix all ingredients and let stand for 5 minutes.

Turkey and Swiss Sandwich

Sandwich aficionado. That's what I like to think I am. Today I made a dressed up version of the old classic, turkey and swiss. I started by baking a sandwich thin. I then thinly sliced some pear, apple, onion and tomato. I made a honey mustard aioli by mixing mayo, dijon, agave nectar (instead of honey), white balsamic and some seasoning (cumin, corriander, cayenne, salt and pepper). I opened the sandwich thin, sauced each side, then layed out the sandwich in this order for maximum taste: Cracked Peppermill turkey, more sauce, pear, apple, onion, tomato, romaine lettuce, swiss cheese. Hooray Sandwich!
