Cuban Pork Sandwiches

Cooking Instructions

Heat barbecue grill (see Tip). Mix the cumin, oregano, salt and pepper; sprinkle over both sides of pork cutlets.

Coat cutlets and onions with seasoning spray. Grill 3 minutes, turning cutlets and onion slices over once, until cutlets are cooked through and onions are slightly charred and crisp-tender.

Fill each roll with 2 slices each cheese and ham, 1 cutlet and 1⁄4 of the onions and pickles. Return to grill for 1 or 2 minutes to melt cheese, if desired.

Tip

If you don’t have a grill (or can’t be bothered to heat it) but want your food to look and taste grilled, use a ridged grill pan. Most have a baked-on black finish that resists sticking and, when heated, leaves “grill” marks that would fool the best barbecue chef. The ridges also keep foods above any fat that may drip off. When the grill pan is hot, lightly coat it with oil before adding food. Stovetop grilling can be smoky, so turn on your stove’s hood fan.
