Steps:
- Begin by braising the pork shoulder. Tie the shoulder in 4 places with kitchen twine so it will hold its shape while being cooked or ask your butcher to do this for you. Season the pork with salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Set the base of a pressure cooker over low-medium heat and add a 2 count of olive oil.
- Add garlic and chili flakes and as the oil heats up it will become fragrant and infuse the oil. Add the pork. Add onions around the pork and brown slightly before adding orange juice, lime juice, stock and bay leaves.
- Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 20 to 25 minutes depending on the size of your pressure cooker. The pork should be tender when done. When done allow to cool in juices before removing twine and slicing.
- To prepare Cuban sandwiches, split bread in half then layer the sandwich with mustard, cheese, pickles, ham, pork then cheese again (the cheese glues everything together). Season with salt and pepper in between the ham and pork layers. (Optional: drizzle a little of the pork braising liquid over the meat as well).
- To cook, heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and top with another heavy skillet and a couple of heavy weights (bricks, or cans of tomatoes work well). Press down firmly and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the sandwich has compressed to about a third of its original size and the bread is super-crispy. Serve with beans, rice and plantain chips.
CUBAN-INSPIRED SANDWICH DIP
Miami tries to claim the Cuban sandwich as its own, but Tampa had it long before Miami. The 2 sandwiches are similar, but Tampa's is the authentic Cuban which has salami. You'll find all the flavors of this popular sandwich in this dip.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Add cream cheese and Swiss cheese to a large bowl. Blend well using an electric mixer. Add mayonnaise and mustard and mix until smooth. Stir in ham, pork, salami, and diced dill pickles until well combined. Spoon mixture into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle remaining 3 tablespoons Swiss cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven's broiler. Broil the dip until the top is nicely browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely, so it doesn't burn.
- Slice the bread in 1/2-inch-thick slices to use as dippers. Serve with the hot dip.

ORIGINAL CUBAN SANDWICH
Steps:
- Cut Cuban bread to desired size, common size is 7 inches. Next, slice open the bread down the middle. On the topside of the bread spread 1-ounce of mustard, evenly across. Then place 4 pickles on top of the mustard. You then place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on top of the pickles. Slice ham to desired thickness, recommended size is 1 1/2 ounces per slice, the thinner the better. Now fold each slice of ham in half and place evenly on bottom of bread. On top of the ham, place slices of roast pork, 1 1/2 ounces per slice. You then join both halves of the sandwich. You are now ready to grill your Cuban sandwich.
- Use a sandwich grill if you have one, a waffle iron if not. Spread butter on top of the bread evenly. Close the grill, smashing the sandwich. Leave sandwich in the grill until top of bread turns to a golden brown, and top is crisp. Approximate time is 4 to 6 minutes. After the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich carefully and slice it diagonally, from corner to corner. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OVEN!
PULL-APART CUBAN SLIDERS
Make mini Cuban sandwiches with this fun recipe! The idea is to assemble them as one big sandwich using packaged dinner rolls that can be pulled apart into smaller sliders. My dad will say it's not the authentic way, but you still get the classic pressed sandwich effect by using two skillets.

Steps:
- Mix the butter and oregano together in a small bowl until combined.
- Split the attached dinner rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife, keeping the rolls in each half attached. Set the top half aside. Transfer the bottom half, cut-side down, to a cutting board; spread half of the oregano butter over the top and transfer to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, butter-side down (cut-side up).
- Stack the sliced cheese and cut into four equal stacks. Arrange the cheese slices evenly over the roll bottoms in the skillet (the cheese can overlap).
- Stack the sliced ham and cut into four equal stacks. Arrange the ham slices evenly over the cheese (the ham can also overlap). Scatter the shredded pork evenly over the top.
- Heat another 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Stir the pickles and mustard together in a small bowl and spread on the cut-side of the reserved top half of the rolls, then place it, cut-side down, on the shredded pork to close the sandwich. Spread the remaining oregano butter over the roll tops.
- Set the skillet with the sandwich over medium-low heat. Carefully place the hot cast-iron skillet directly on top of the sandwich to press and toast the roll tops. Cook until the cheese is melted and the rolls are toasted, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the avocado, cilantro, orange juice and lime juice in a medium bowl. Mash and combine with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully remove the top skillet and use 2 large spatulas to transfer the sandwich to a serving platter. Serve whole with avocado dip and plantain chips, letting guests pull apart their own sliders.

5/5 (3)Published Apr 6, 2021Category Appetizers, Recipe Roundup
- 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.
