#BaptistHealthy Easy Eats: Cuban-Style Bowl
Warm bowls are trending and make for a delicious meal. But if you’re not being mindful of what foods are included in the bowl, you can easily have too many carbohydrates for one meal. Check out this balanced Cuban-style bowl, made with a couple of our favorite #BaptistHealthy Easy Eats recipes.
Traditional Cuban meals can include four sources of carbohydrates – rice, beans, yucca and plantains. This Cuban-inspired bowl includes an adequate serving of rice and beans. Depending on your nutrition needs, you can also add 2 plantains or 1/3 cup of cooked yucca or swap out the rice and beans.

HOW TO MAKE A CUBAN SANDWICH AT HOME: Delicious Cubano Recipe Includes Mojo Sauce for Pulled Pork
If you've ever wanted to make a delicious Cuban Sandwich at home but felt you couldn't do it because you don't have access to fresh baked Cuban bread. I feel you. I LOVE Cuban sandwiches. And after enjoying an authentic Cubano in Tampa, that practically melted in my mouth, I was inspired to at least give it a shot. I surprised myself at how good it turned out, even though I used French bread and had to improvise a little. You'd be surprised what marinating pork in a homemade mojo sauce overnight, and then cooking it low and slow for ten hours will do! Read on for the full recipe.
Cuban Mojo Sauce
2 Tbsp. cumin
1 1/2 Tbsp. crushed black pepper
2 Tbsp. dried oregano (or 3 Tbsp. fresh)
10-12 garlic cloves, minced
the juice of 2 oranges (approx. 1 cup)
the juice of 6 limes (approx. 1 cup)
Mix all ingredients well and set aside.
5-7 lb. pork butt
Rinse pork butt and pat dry with paper towels. Use paring knife to stab holes into pork, creating areas for marinade to go into. Salt pork butt generously. Place in giant, sealable plastic bag or in large container that has a lid. Pour mojo sauce over pork butt, seal, and place in refrigerator to marinate overnight.
Place pork butt in slow cooker, along with all the mojo sauce it was marinaded in. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, until meat pulls apart easily with a fork. Taste to see if more salt is needed and make adjustments, if necessary.
For Cuban Sandwich
french baguette (if you don't have access to cuban bread)
pulled pork
smoked deli ham
genoa salami
swiss cheese, sliced
pickles
plain yellow mustard
*plus butter to brush on to bread before grilling (optional)
Cut bread length-wise into pieces that are approximately 7''. Then slice down middle. Spread mustard onto inside of each bread. On bottom bread slice place smoked ham, followed by generous layer of mojo pork. Put swiss cheese on top, followed by pickles. Finally, top it with a layer of salami and put bread on top. Brush on a little melted butter before placing onto sandwich press or hot griddle. (I don't have a sandwich press, so I used a heavy cast iron skillet to squish it down.) Flip over and cook until both sides are toasted and cheese is melted. Take off griddle, slice diagonally, and enjoy!
Thanks so much for checking out this video. I hope you love my version of a Cuban Sandwich as much as I do.
