Smoked Ham Cubano

Smoked Ham Cubano

Give your sandwich extra flavor when you make your own red pepper relish.

The Cuban is Latin America's delicious take on our revered ham and cheese sandwich. Here, the smoky richness and sweetness of the ham is counterbalanced by the sharpness and tanginess of the whole-grain mustard and Swiss cheese. For an even more authentic version, add a little roasted pork or pickle.
