Ingredients

  • about 225 g Cooked ham
  • about 225 g Roasted pork (lechon)
  • about 113 g Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup Pickles
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
  • 1 loaf Gluten-free bread (or cassava bread)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 225 g of cooked ham, about 225 g of roasted pork, and about 113 g of Swiss cheese into 2.54 cm cubes. Cut the 1/2 cup of pickles into 1.27 cm pieces. If using the 1 loaf of gluten-free bread, cut it into 2.54 cm cubes; if using cassava bread, cut it into 2.54 cm squares.
  2. 2Carefully thread the prepared 2.54 cm cubes of cooked ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, and gluten-free bread (or cassava bread squares), along with the 1.27 cm pieces of pickles, onto skewers. Alternate the ingredients as you thread them.
  3. 3Brush all sides of the assembled skewers evenly with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. 4Heat a large 30.48 cm skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat, aiming for a surface temperature of approximately 190°C. Carefully place the olive oil-brushed skewers onto the hot surface. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning them gently, until the Swiss cheese is slightly melted and the gluten-free bread (or cassava bread) is golden brown and toasted.
  5. 5Serve the hot Cuban Sandwich Skewers immediately. Offer the 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard in a small bowl on the side for dipping.
