The Ultimate Cuban Sandwich (Cubano) 🇨🇺 | Rating Sandwiches From Around the World 🌎 PHILLY CHEESESTEAK REDO DROPPING NEXT WEEK 🔥 I’m trying, rating, and ranking the world’s most popular sandwiches to find the ultimate Sandwich King 👑 I’m thinking about making merch for the winner of this series…..what do you think?? Comment which famous sandwich you think deserves to be on the list ⤵️ 👉 Full detailed recipes in bio 🔗 — RECIPE: Mojo Pork Marinade (12–24 hrs): Orange juice (sour orange if possible - I messed up and got blood oranges lmao), lime juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, sliced onion, bay leaves. Whisk → score pork → fully submerge → cover + refrigerate overnight. Slow Cook Mojo Pork: Add pork + ALL marinade into slow cooker. Cook LOW 8–10 hrs (best) or HIGH 5–6 hrs until fall-apart tender. Slice (traditional) or shred. OPTIONAL (but highly recommended): reduce some of the cooking liquid + toss in the pork for extra flavor. I dipped my finished sandwich in it 🤌 Cuban Bread (optional but makes it traditional): Bread flour, warm water, sugar, salt, yeast, lard (or butter). Activate yeast with water + sugar → mix dough → knead → add lard → knead until smooth → rise 1–1.5 hrs → shape into long loaves → proof 30–45 min → score + bake 425°F with steam for 18–22 min until golden. NOTE: you can sub soft Italian/French bread, but it won’t be as good. Build: Lightly sear ham over medium heat for 60s per side. Build with Cuban bread, yellow mustard, Swiss cheese, mojo pork, ham, pickles, more Swiss cheese, more yellow mustard, and the top slice of bread. Press: Butter outside → press in pan/panini press over medium heat → 3–5 min per side until crispy, flattened, and the cheese is melted. Serve: Slice + eat immediately. Optionally dip in some of the reduced cooking liquid. Enjoy, friends :) — This traditional Cuban sandwich (Cubano) is made with mojo pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard on crispy pressed bread. An authentic Florida classic, this at-home version shows you how to make a real Cubano from scratch. #cubano #cubansandwich #sandwichrecipe #sandwich #food
