Cuban Sandwich
Cubano
Last week I fixed a Cuban pork roast for one of my clients. As a rule, I don't eat what I make for clients because I cook just enough for them and I monitor my food costs fairly closely, but in this case the roast was a good bit larger than required and so I had some leftover. So I made Cuban sandwiches.
These are marvelous things consisting of roast pork, ham, salami, dill pickles, Swiss cheese, and yellow ball-park mustard. It's built on a bread similar to Italian and then grilled. In this case I used Dijon mustard instead of ball-park and Spanish Mahon instead of Swiss, but it's the pork marinated in citrus juice that makes this sandwich particularly distinctive.

It's as ubiquitous to Miami as the Po'boy is to New Orleans. Mighty good, too.
Coffeepot,
Yup.
Nice action shot! After a lunch of lettuce leaf-wrapped hummous with a bean salad... I'm miraculously hungry again.
S'kat,
Hummous is my favorite snack -- but it ain't no meal.
