Cubano Sandwich

The Cubano sandwich is a twist on a ham and cheese sandwich, popularized in South Florida, combining ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread, pressed until the outside is golden brown. I highly recommend adding some Mango Thai Fighter for that extra zip of flavour — sweetness to match the sour of the pickles.

Mango Thai Fighter started as an experiment to see if I could grow Thai peppers in my driveway. The peppers were a huge success, and the idea of mangoes and carrots as a base led to our own spicy salad dressing, finished with a little fish sauce for umami — our only non-vegan sauce.
