    You did a great job and I approve. 🇨🇺 🥪 ❤️ If anyone is wondering, traditional mojo is made with sour orange juice- no zest- but using half lime and half orange will taste very similar, and is something many Cubans do. It isn’t made with chilis, cumin or mint. We use onions instead of shallots and dried oregano instead of fresh. Your sandwich assembly is pretty spot on. The most traditional way is mustard on one slice and butter on the other. This looks VERY tasty and like an elevated Cuban sandwich.

      Shallots are better for marinade then Onions as they do not have the strontg onion spell but still contain all the wonderful onion flavor. Im puertorican not Cuban but that change to the Mojo was fine. My gripe was that he removed the bone fromthe pork, just butterfly the meat open and keep the bone in as it releases alot of flavor.

    I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but you get a better, more balanced flavor if you put the Swiss directly on the mustarded bread and place the pickles between the cheese and meat. This separates the acidic ingredients by a layer and actually makes a huge difference.

    My uncle is Matt Salgado, a scarcely know Cuban chef but even Bobby flay has had him on his show. And this is perfect. Exactly how he’d make his besides putting a palm leaf in the split for the bread. Makes a world of difference. Also a little mojo in the pan while toasting so the bread absorbs. Love u man.

      @@kameronpeterson3601 A lot of people debate that the sandwich was made in the US while others emphatically proclaim it came from Cuba itself. However, the above comment is correct either way. The sandwich most commonly eaten in Cuba involves a thin slicing of pork and ham, usually because these are somewhat harder to come by. Additionally, the idea of a ham and cheese sandwich (the original before either Cubans or Americans decided to add roasted pork) was brought over by the Spanish long before anyone invented the modern day Cuban sandwich

It’s like getting a shrimp Po-Boy in Metairie, using that Leidenheimer bread. I spent three days in NO trying to find the right bread. Had to drive to Bear’s to get it. Completely worth it. Real Cuban bread has a three hour shelf-life, just like that Po-Boy bread. It matters.

    As someone who grew up making lechón several times a year, but especially on Christmas Eve (aka Noche Buena), Josh’s mojo recipe is pretty spot on! Obviously every family makes it a little differently, but mine 1) uses white onions instead of shallots, 2) does NOT use mint (that’s for mojitos smh), and 3) makes it in a food processor instead of a blender, so it’s still a little chunky. Also, if you live someplace where you have access to sour oranges use those! The lime and orange juice is a substitute for people that don’t have sour oranges, since they really only grow in tropical climates.
