Hooters Cuban Sandwich Vegetarian Version (Cuban grilled sandwich) repost

[Guest guest]

Popped in really fast to post this. Yes, before I

started medical school I

worked weekends at Hooters in Santa Monica, don't

laugh, the tips helped me

through UCLA. Hope my future patients don't recognize

me. If a vegetarian

customer wanted a Cuban sandwich we would change it to

this version. I was so

addicted to them, this ended up being my dinner while

I worked my shift. I make

these often now. Enjoy ! Mya

 

 

" Hooters Cuban Sandwich Vegetarian Version "

 

 

 

Loaf of Cuban bread*, (see note) about 20” long and a

smaller diameter than a

French loaf

 

Slices Yves veggie ham

 

Slices Yves veggie turkey

 

Slices Swiss cheese

 

Slices Monterey jack cheese

 

Firm dill pickles sliced lengthwise

 

5 Tablespoons soy mayo or mayo

 

1 1/2 Tablespoons spicy mustard

 

1/4 Teaspoon hot sauce Tapatia or Tabasco

 

 

 

Preparation:

Mix the mayo., mustard and hot sauce together to make

the sauce. Slice the

Cuban loaf in half lengthwise and spread each half

with the sauce equally.

Starting with the veggie ham and veggie turkey slices

fold in half and cover the

bottom half of the loaf end to end. Cut the cheese

slices in half and cover the

veggie ham and veggie turkey. Crisscross the entire

length with the pickle

slices and top with the other half of the loaf. Cut

the sandwich in half

diagonally.

 

Cooking:

Heat a large black iron skillet to medium without oil

and set the prepared sandwich

halves side by side in the pan. Place another heavy

black iron pan on top of the

sandwich and press down firmly for several seconds to

flatten the bread loaf to

about 1-inch or about one third its original

thickness. Cook for about 3-5 minutes

being careful to check that it does not burn. When the

bottom is crisp brown and

hard remove the weight and turn over, replace the top

pan and continue until the

top is browned and crisp.

 

 

 

Note ~ Most Cuban bread contains lard since this is

basically what's available

in Cuba. Use a French or Italian bread loaf. I also

add thin onion rings when

I make this.

colors green, brown and yellow.

Wonder if they'll turn back ever,

contemplating what together,

poison dreams, assorted dreams, mushroom dreams.
