COUSCOUS CUBANO



Couscous Cubano image

This recipe is a modification of a contest winner from Near East for original couscous creations. We omitted the green onion for personal tastes. I've only made it once, and it was a little bit bland using just the ingredients below, but was improved by putting some more lime juice on it. We will also try adding more cayenne pepper next time.

1 ounce roasted garlic oil
1 ounce (or generous slathering) butter, melted
1 hoagie roll, preferably Bobby John Henry Lard Cubano Hoagies, sliced in half lengthwise
4 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
1.2 ounces (2 slices) shaved ham
2 House Garlic-Dill Pickles, recipe follows, sliced lengthwise
1 1/2 ounces chile flakes
1 1/2 ounces mustard seeds
1/2 ounce coriander seeds
.1 ounce bay leaf
4 gallons white distilled vinegar
10 ounces fresh garlic cloves
14 ounces salt
10 ounces sugar
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
40 pounds cucumbers, sliced lengthwise
1 pound fresh dill, chopped fine (stems included)
Toast chile flakes, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and bay leaf

Steps:

  • For the pork brine: Whisk together orange juice, vinegar, whisky, salt, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage, bay leaves and 3 1/2 cups water. Add pork to brine and add water to cover if necessary. Refrigerate for 12 hours.
  • For the chile honey pork glaze: Cook down honey, lime juice and chile in a saucepot until mixture is thick.
  • For the mojo pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine pork, cilantro, mint, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, pepper, coriander, cumin, clove, salt, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic and bay leaves together in a large roasting pan with the pork skin-side up. Cover tightly with foil and roast 3 1/2 hours. Remove foil and cook until skin starts to crisp up, another 30 minutes.
  • Turn oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Remove pork carefully from braising liquid. Strain braising liquid and set aside for mojo mustard. Pull pork off the bone into large chunks, discarding excess fat. Place pork on a sheet pan and toss in chile honey glaze. Add a little more glaze on top and roast until it starts to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
  • For the mojo mustard: Whisk together the yellow mustard, herbs, garlic salt, honey and garlic oil in a bowl.
  • Whisk together 2 ounces of this mixture with 2 ounces mojo braising liquid (save the rest for another use).
  • For the Cubano melt: Place 2 1/2 ounces mojo pork in a foil pouch and place on a hot griddle weighed down with a hot cast-iron press on top to reheat. Remove from foil.
  • Butter bread. Layer 2 pieces Swiss cheese one side of the bread, followed by ham and the heated mojo pork. Add a heavy squeeze mojo mustard, 2 Pickles, 2 more pieces Swiss cheese and top piece of buttered bread.
  • Griddle on a flat top or griddle on medium-high heat with a heated cast-iron press on top until cheese is melted ooey gooey, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Slice on a bias. Enjoy!
  • Heat 1 gallon vinegar in a pot with the toasted spices, garlic, salt, sugar and peppercorns. Whisk until dissolved. Combine add the remaining 3 gallons vinegar and the dill. Layer the cucumbers with the brine so herbs, garlic and spices evenly get distributed. Brine, refrigerated, for 2 days.
