Hooters Cuban Sandwich Vegetarian Version recipe post Hi Everyone

[Guest guest]

Popped in really fast to post this. Yes, before I started medical school I

worked weekends at Hooters in Santa Monica, don't laugh, the tips helped me

through UCLA. Hope my future patients don't recognize me. If a vegetarian

customer wanted a Cuban sandwich we would change it to this version. I was so

addicted to them, this ended up being my dinner while I worked my shift. I make

these often now. Enjoy ! Mya

 

 

" Hooters Cuban Sandwich Vegetarian Version "

 

 

 

Loaf of Cuban bread*, (see note) about 20” long and a smaller diameter than a

French loaf

 

Slices Yves veggie ham

 

Slices Yves veggie turkey

 

Slices Swiss cheese

 

Slices Monterey jack cheese

 

Firm dill pickles sliced lengthwise

 

5 Tablespoons soy mayo

 

1 ½ Tablespoons spicy mustard

 

¼ Teaspoon hot sauce Tapatia or Tabasco

 

 

 

Preparation:

 

 

 

Mix the mayo., mustard and hot sauce together to make the sauce. Slice the

Cuban loaf in half lengthwise and spread each half with the sauce equally.

Starting with the veggie ham and veggie turkey slices fold in half and cover the

bottom half of the loaf end to end. Cut the cheese slices in half and cover the

veggie ham and veggie turkey. Crisscross the entire length with the pickle

slices and top with the other half of the loaf. Cut the sandwich in half

diagonally.

 

 

 

Cooking:

 

 

 

Heat a large black skillet to medium without oil and set the prepared sandwich

halves side by side in the pan. Place another heavy black pan on top of the

sandwich and press down firmly for several seconds to flatten the bread loaf to

about 1inch or about one third its original thickness. Cook for about 5 minutes

being careful to check that it does not burn. When the bottom is crisp brown and

hard remove the weight and turn over, replace the top pan and continue until the

top is browned and crisp.

 

 

 

Note ~ Most Cuban bread contains lard since this is basically what's available

in Cuba. Use a French or Italian bread loaf. I also add thin onion rings when

I make this.
