Cuban Sandwich - Oct 19, 2009

Cuban Sandwich with Garlic Bistro Fries

Inspired by our Cuban black bean soup, we decided to make Nick's favorite sandwich for dinner last night. We used thinly sliced pork (from grilled pork chops rather than pulled pork shoulder for convenience sake), deli smoked ham, homemade dill pickles, and stone ground mustard (we didn't have any 'yellow' mustard). For some reason, Nick prefers his Cuban without the Swiss cheese, so we left it off. All of this we put on crusty French bread (since it's readily available and similar to Cuban bread) and ate slightly warmed. On the side I whipped up some oven baked bistro fries from the beautiful red fleshed potatoes from Harmony Valley.
