Steps:
- Assemble the sandwich
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the butter on one half of the bread loaf and a thin layer of mustard on the other. Place 1 to 2 layers of ham, pork, cheese, and, finally, pickles on the buttered bread and top with the mustard-spread bread.
- Wrap the sandwich in foil
- Smear the remaining butter all over the outside of the sandwich and wrap it completely in aluminum foil.
- Press and grill the sandwich
- Heat your grill to high (550°F) and close the lid. Wait at least 15 minutes before lowering the heat to medium-high (450°F) and continuing.
- Before grilling the sandwich, press down on it with your hands to flatten it. Place the wrapped, flattened sandwich on the grill and top with a brick, grill press, or any other heavy, heat-resistant object. Close the lid and grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
- Remove the wrapped sandwich from the grill and take off the foil. Return the sandwich to the grill and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until both pieces of bread are crispy and golden brown.
- Slice and serve
- Remove the sandwich from the grill and cut at an angle into small sandwich wedges (triangles). Place on a large platter and serve while still hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like swordfish, tuna, or mahi-mahi work best for grilling.
- Prepare the marinade: A flavorful marinade helps keep the fish moist and imparts delicious flavors. Use a combination of herbs, spices, citrus juices, and olive oil.
- Grill the fish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the fish with oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled fish pairs well with various sides such as grilled vegetables, rice, or quinoa. A squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs add brightness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Cuban-style grilled fish is a simple yet flavorful dish that's perfect for a summer cookout. With its vibrant marinade and tender, flaky flesh, this dish will surely be a hit among your family and friends. Experiment with different marinades and sides to create a unique and delicious meal that reflects your personal taste preferences.
