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.

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.

You don't need a panini machine to make these; use the low-tech method of weighting the sandwiches with a baking pan filled with canned goods. If you're making just one or two sandwiches at a time, you can cook them in a skillet and top them with another skillet weighted with cans.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup mayonnaise, divided
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
1/3 cup (packed) finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

6 tablespoons (about) butter

ELENA RUZ SANDWICH RECIPE - NYT COOKING
During the late 1920s or early 1930s, the Cuban socialite Elena Ruz Valdés-Fauli asked for a sandwich with turkey, strawberry preserves and cream cheese in a soft medianoche roll at El Carmelo restaurant in Havana. The sandwich was an original request — it didn’t yet exist on menus in Cuba — but it eventually became something of a beloved national dish. Like other popular Cuban dishes, it combines the sweet and the salty. Some Cuban chefs say that it lends itself to adaptation and experimentation with other jams and sandwich meats. It’s best enjoyed with plantain chips and a Cuban soda, such as Materva or Ironbeer.
