Although the Cubano traditionally consisted of ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, Cuban bread, cafes, and home cooks all have their own interpretations. Although the sandwich alone may be a hearty dish, several very flavorful sides complement this globe-trotting sandwich.. A creamy, dunkable soup makes the perfect complement to any grilled sandwich. Consider making this delectable Smoky Roasted Corn Soup.. seasoned sweet potato fries are another popular side dish.
The sandwich brings together flavor and history as well as tradition. The sandwich, which incorporates elements from Cuban, German, and Italian immigrants, is a world tour of simple ingredients. If you've never had one, now is the time to try it.
