Veal Cubano Sandwich

Veal Cubano Sandwich

Grilling Recipe

If you're looking to shake up your sandwich game, this Veal Cubano is just the SUB for you. Simply layer grilled adobo-seasoned veal cutlets, thinly sliced honey baked ham, silky Swiss cheese, pickle slices and yellow mustard on a hero roll and grill to melty perfection.
This several layered dish creates a symphony of flavors and textures. Customize your Cubano sandwiches by adding more or less of anything you’d like. For instances get fancy and add salami or bacon to your sandwich. It’s important to start and end with cheese because that’s what holds the sandwich together. These Veal Cubano sandwich(es) are good up to 3-5 days in the fridge depending on how fresh your ingredients are.

Ingredients

  • 4 small veal cutlets (about 2 oz. each), pounded to 1/4 to 1/8-inch thickness
  • 1-1/2 tsp. adobo seasoning
  • 4 hero rolls (about 5-6 inches long), split
  • 2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. yellow mustard
  • 4 slices thinly sliced honey baked ham
  • 12 dill pickle slices (about 2 ½ oz.)
  • 4 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese
  • Shoestring fries, if desired

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle each side of veal with some adobo seasoning. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill or use grill pan on top of stove over medium heat. Grill veal cutlets 2 to 4 minutes, turning once. Remove cutlets to platter.
  2. Spread bottom and top of each roll with 1 tsp. mustard. Layer on bottom half of each roll sliced ham, veal cutlets, 3 pickle slices and Swiss cheese. Cover each bottom with roll top.
  3. Wrap each sandwich in foil. Place sandwiches on grill or on grill pan. Place a panini press or heavy skillet on top of sandwiches to weigh/press them down. Grill sandwiches 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts and bread is toasted. Carefully unwrap each sandwich and cut in half; place on plate. Serve with shoestring fries, if desired.
