I happen to have almost all the ingredients at home except for the roast pork. But on the way home this afternoon, I passed my favorite Italian grocery store which happened to have a scrumptious looking porchetta roast.
Porchetta is a roast pork stuffed either with herbs such as rosemary and garlic seasoned with salt and pepper. In Orovieto, Italy, I learned they stuff their porchetta with garlic and fennel leaves. It's a combination of pork cuts and pork belly outside wrapped around the other pieces of pork parts seasoned then tied with a string and roasted in the oven. Sometimes, the skin could get very nice and crisp.
RECIPE FOR MY CUBAN STYLE SANDWICH:
Sliced good ham (I use nitrate FREE ham)
Roast pork (prefer porchetta)
Pickle (I use Grillo's Pickles - no color and preservatives added)
Yogurt Cheese
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Light baguette or I used an Italian Stratcci from Sullivan Bread
Warm the bread for about 8 minutes at 325F. Spread mayonnaise on one side then the mustard. Layer on top the ham, pork, cheese and the pickle.
Serve with a vegetable on the side. I had sauteed collard greens with onions, walnuts and mushrooms.
