CUBAN FINGERS

Part of the fun of Nashville is the occasional encounter with the music community-Martina at the supermarket, Keith at the sushi bar, Kenny at the gym, Wynonna doing lunch, or Mr. Prine waiting in the school car line. Nashville is good about giving Grammy winners, hit songwriters, and all who keep the music playing plenty of space for living their regular lives. Over at Min's, we enjoy the occasional drop-in visit by the Malo posse, the charming sons of velvet-voiced Raul Malo. We shoot the breeze about Dad's latest album, fast cars, and food. No luck getting any Cuban secret family recipes, but the boys have kindly offered Dad's autograph on our Mavericks and Raul Malo CDs. Listening to Raul gets us hungry for Cuban Fingers, Miami's favorite crusty pressed sandwiches. We fill them with Ultimate Cheater Pork Loin, or sometimes leftover cheater brisket or beef round roast. Cuban bread is extra crisp on the outside and very tender on the inside, so it's easy to flatten. Cut the sandwiches into neat fingers for parties.

Yield makes 4 to 6 servings

Steps:

  • CUT the bread into four equal pieces with a serrated knife. Slice each piece in half lengthwise. Brush the insides with butter and place them on a baking sheet.
  • TOAST the bread, buttered side up, under a broiler or in a toaster oven until lightly browned.
  • PILE the four bottoms with the pork loin, ham, pickles, and cheese. Add the tops and flatten the sandwiches with the bottom of a skillet, a spatula, or your hand.
  • TOAST the sandwiches in a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides and the cheese is melted. Press the sandwiches occasionally while cooking. Cut into 1-to 2-inch fingers.

1 large loaf (20 to 24 inches long) Cuban or French bread
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/2 pound thinly sliced Ultimate Cheater Pork Loin (page 80), any cheater brisket, or One-Hour Rump or Round Roast (page 118)
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
Dill pickle chips
1/2 pound thinly sliced Swiss cheese

  • Cuban Sandwich on a Stick Appetizer. This is the perfect easy appetizer for anyone who prefers assembling food to cooking it. All you’ll have to do is gather your ingredients and stick them on skewers layer by layer.
  • Cuban Sandwich Dip. This is another excellent option for those who don’t love to cook. Most of your work goes into mixing all the ingredients. The oven does all the actual cooking for you.
  • Cuban Lentil Soup. If you’re looking for a dish that’s high in fiber, antioxidants, potassium, and iron, consider Cuban lentil soup. Start with a base of vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth.
  • Cuban Ham Roll-Ups. Part of the reason I’m such a fan of Cuban appetizers is because they’re so quick and easy to make. Many of them require little actual cooking, and cleaning up is usually easy, too.
  • Cuban Beef Pastries (Pastelitos de Carne) These puffed pastries are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The pastry and homemade “simple syrup” add just the right amount of sweetness, while the picadillo in the center is warm, hearty, and beefy.
  • Deviled Crab Croquettes. This recipe sometimes scares people away when they first see it because of the long ingredients list, but if you look more closely, you’ll see that most of them are seasonings and common veggies.
  • Bolitas de Yuca (Cheese Stuffed Fried Yuca Balls) Yuca, also called cassava, is another common ingredient found in Cuban dishes, and these fried yuca balls are super yummy and can be ready in about 20 minutes.
  • Guava Cream Cheese Cuban Pastries (Pastelitos de Guayaba y Queso) If you’re looking for something a little sweeter, try these fantastic cream cheese and guava-filled pastries.
  • Tostones. Peel and slice a few plantains, fry them in oil, and sprinkle them with sea salt. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. Plus, they taste fantastic.
  • Cuban Sliders. This is another recipe that requires minimal cooking, which means it’s one of my favorites. Load up some Hawaiian rolls with ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles.
