If you can get good Cuban bread, a Cuban sandwich is a breeze to make.

You make make a shoulder of pork or a loin in the oven, just seasoned with salt and very slow cooked in the oven, to make it tender.
Take boiled ham, shredded pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, one half of the bread with mustard, the other half with butter, then take a panini grille using the flat attachment instead of ridges and you are off to the races.
Press it down in the panini grille and when almost ready to take out, take some butter and spread lightly on outside of top of sandwich. That is the best little personal touch I can give you. It adds an extra dimension.

No restaurant can match a good homemade Cuban sandwich.
