Cubans know a few things very, very well. One of them is dancing, the other is cigars and the other? Sandwiches. Today we’re making Cubano Sandwiches with Cannabis.
The ingredients inside a Cuban sandwich are simple but tasty: ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard. Period!
Today though, we’re adding a twist and flair, with some herby-cannabutter. I can’t wait!
Also, if you can get Cuban bread for your Cubano, you’re golden. Don’t worry if you can’t though – but the bread really makes it perfect! Si!
Here’s a great recipe for making the perfect Cuban bread.
Cuban Bread is a yeast-risen and enriched dough. It’s long, white and soft on the inside, with a super tasty and crispy crust.
Like the name, the sandwich and it’s rich history comes from Cuba.
It’s believed that the Cubano first started it’s origins with the Taino tribe in Cuba who used a Cassava base for the cracker-like bread. After that, the Spanish introduced dough and pork to the sandwich to ‘spruce it up’ so-to-speak.
In the 1800’s and 1900’s when travel was easy between Cuba and Florida, Cuban cigar workers travelled back and forth easily.
It’s thought that the sandwich was a common lunch food for Cuban workers, both in the cigar factories and sugar mills of Cuba.
Once they relocated to the USA, they wanted the same kind of food and introduced it there.
Fast forward and now the only problem with the Cubano is the fight between the BIG question: Is salami part of a Cubano or not?
The rest, as they say, is history!
Well, we’re pretty sure that the Cuban’s didn’t think cannabis butter was a delectable addition to this historically rich sandwich – at least back in the 1800’s!
Today? We’re positive that many Cubans would love this little bit of buzz to elevate the tradition.
Making cannabutter, if you haven’t before, is super easy. Just follow the instructions below, step-by-step and you’ll be just fine.
Spice up your sandwich-making experience and throw on some Buena Vista Social Club music on iTunes, or crank up the heat in your home and pair it with a Cannabis Margarita!
