ELENA RUZ SANDWICH (CUBAN TURKEY SANDWICH) RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Elena Ruz Sandwich (Cuban Turkey Sandwich) Recipe - Food.com image

This is a strange combination, but trust me, it is very good! The story goes that Elena Ruz, a society young socialite for which the sandwich is named, would stop at this little all-night restaurant, El Carmelo, in Vedado neighborhood in Havana Cuba, after leaving the dance with her group of friends. She asked the waiter if he could fix her this sandwich after she told them how to make it. After that she would always ask for the Elena Ruz Sandwich and to this day that is how the sandwich is known. This recipe has been printed on many of the Cuban Food web sites. It is great for leftover turkey. Update 03/13/2006 you can also use sweet rolls(the kind you use for a media noche). However, the real McCoy is white bread without crusts and lightly toasted and then the cream cheese would be spread, then the turkey and strawberry jelly on the other slice and voila!

TURKEY CUBANO RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Turkey Cubano Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Two heated baking pans topped by a cast-iron skillet stand in for a sandwich press in this easy Cubano recipe. It also substitutes sliced turkey for the usual roast pork, but retains the melted cheese, sliced ham and slivers of pickle that makes the traditional sandwich so incredibly compelling. Deli ham is the go-to choice here, but prosciutto gives a deeper, saltier flavor; use whichever you like.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Total Time 15 minutes

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Hot sauce or mustard, to taste
2 (12-inch) soft hero rolls or semolina loaves, split in half horizontally
3 to 4 ounces cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
8 slices deli ham or prosciutto
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers or other pickled hot peppers (optional)
1 large dill pickle, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and another rack directly below it. Place a rimmed baking sheet on each rack. Once the pans are inside, heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise and stir in hot sauce or mustard to taste — it should have a kick. Spread mayonnaise mixture inside the rolls, coating both the top and bottom halves. Layer rolls with turkey, ham, cheese, pepperoncini (if using) and pickle slices.
  • Using your hands, press the sandwiches down and make sure nothing slides out. (If it does, poke it back in.) Then, use a brush to butter the top and bottom halves of the rolls.
  • Remove a hot baking sheet from the oven and place the sandwiches on top. Layer the other hot baking sheet on top of the sandwiches. Place a small pot cast-iron skillet or other heavy heatproof item on top of that second hot baking sheet to create a press.
  • Carefully return to oven and bake until sandwiches are warm, toasted and golden brown and the cheese is melted, 8 to 13 minutes. (You’ll have to lift off the second pan to check on the sandwiches.) Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
