Cubano Sandwiches

Rate & Review

(14 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Hearty Cuban food, with its reliance on rice, beans, plantains and simple meats like roasted chicken or pork, tends to go best with similarly rustic, full-bodied wines, whether white or red. These cubano sandwiches get their character from a classic Cuban mojo, which can be either a marinade or, in this case, a sauce. Like most Cuban mojos, Anya Von Bremzen’s starts with orange juice, then cumin, garlic, oregano, cilantro and quick-pickled red onions add complexity and kick.

Pairing Suggestion

These meaty, cheesy sandwiches need a big wine to stand up to them, such as a plummy Malbec from Argentina; two good ones are the smoky 2005 Navarro Correas Colección Privada or the currant-inflected 2005 Trapiche Oak Cask.
