RBR Tailgating: Cuban Sandwiches

459101403_2f831e2ef1_medium

Trying to keep these somewhat relevant, I chose the Cuban Sandwich since FIU is in Miami.  We'll go with Alton Brown's recipe here since it's reasonably grill friendly (i.e. use the brick suggestion).

Ingredients

* 4 hoagie rolls
* 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
* 1/4 pound baked ham, thinly sliced
* 1/4 pound roast pork, thinly sliced
* 1/4 pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced
* 10 thin dill pickle slices, approximately 2 whole pickles
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature

Directions

Slice the bread horizontally in half, leaving 1 edge intact. Lay the bread open and spread each side with the mustard. Divide the ingredients evenly among the slices of roll. Start with the ham followed by the pork, cheese, and dill pickles. Bring the tops and bottoms together.

Heat your panini maker or sandwich press. Butter each side of the press. Place the sandwiches inside, press down and grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is flat and browned, approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a sandwich press, you can heat 6 fireplace bricks wrapped in foil, in a 500 degrees F oven for 1 hour and then press the sandwich between them for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

If you aren’t using pulled/shredded pork you should have you sandwich making privileges removed

Speaking of Cuban Sammiches

Try Kool Korner Sandwiches in Vestavia (In the Publix Shopping Center over by the RAVE). It’s run by some 80 yr. old cuban dude, and those sandwiches are great.

I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk.

i missed that as well.

not only is the point about miami’s cuban population accurate, FIU’s coach, Mario Cristobal, is the first Cuban-American head coach in NCAA history.
