Directions
Put sauce ingredients in a jar. Cover and shake until blended. For each sandwich: Drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce on bottom half of roll. Top with 2 slices each ham, roast pork and salami, then 1 slice Swiss cheese. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon sauce and cover with top of bun.
NOTE: To make Cuban-seasoned roast pork: Rub 1 teaspoon each minced garlic, oregano and salt on a 1¾-pound boneless pork-loin roast.
Roast on rack in 450 F oven 60 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160 F. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
This hearty sandwich makes great use of leftover roast pork. We've included a recipe for Cuban-Seasoned Roast Pork (see Note) in case you don't have any leftovers ready to use for this recipe. You may also be able to find roast pork in the deli section of your market.
The sandwich is dressed with a sauce for which only La Teresita's owner knows the recipe. All he gave us to go on is that it's called mojo, which is a combination of olive oil with any citrus juice, any herb and any member of the lily family--garlic, onion or shallots, for example. Here's what we came up with.
