Cuban Sandwiches

Okay, so this isn't exactly healthy...or thrifty.  But it tastes---mmm---so good.  And memories are better than money, right?

Ingredients
  • Whole-grain mustard
  • Swiss cheese, sliced
  • Dill pickles, sliced
  • Boiled ham and peppered salami
  • Cuban pork (recipe here)
  • Cuban bread roll (or ciabatta or baguette) sliced in six-inch increments
  • Melted butter (don't tell whoever you are serving, it just spoils the whole thing really)
Directions
  1. Slice the pork into fourth-inch cuts, across the grain.  
  2. Fry the ham (without oil or butter) on the stove over medium heat for about one minute or until the ham is spotted brown.  
  3. Butter the bread where the sandwich fixings will go and fry for about a minute or until they are golden-crispy.  
  4. Spread mustard on both pieces of bread.
  5. Place the pork, ham, salami, pickle, and swiss in between the roll halves.
  6. Butter the top and bottom and fry the sandwich over low for 2 minutes, then turn the sandwich over.  The cheese should begin to melt.
  7. Voila.  Done.
