Editors Review
The classic combo of pork, ham, cheese and mustard makes Cuban sandwich so very lip-smacking. In this recipe, Juan Montalvo trims down the excess fat in the rather conventional recipe by replacing Cuban bread with whole wheat roll and grills it to perfection unless the cheese melts. Crunchy yet soft – all the drool-worthy ingredients in this sandwich strikes a perfect balance of sweet, sour, hot and spicy.Comments
