On Cuban bread, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard are often made, but restaurant and home cooks serve up different versions. Although the Cubano traditionally consisted of ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, many restaurants and home cooks have different interpretations. Although the sandwich alone may be a hearty dish, several very flavorful sides complement this globe-trotting sandwich. A creamy, dunkable soup makes the perfect complement to any grilled sandwich. Consider making this delectable Smoky Roasted Corn Soup. seasoned sweet potato fries are another popular side dish.
The sandwich brings together taste and history as well as geography and history. The sandwich is a world tour of simple ingredients, with recipes from Cuban, German, and Italian immigrants. This is the time to try it if you've never tried one before.
