Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 (12-ounce) pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces Black Forest ham, thinly sliced (about 4 slices)
- 4 ounces Swiss cheese, thinly sliced (about 4 slices)
- 4 kosher dill pickles (about 4 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
- 2 (6-inch) soft French or Cuban rolls, split
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Directions
-
In a resealable plastic bag, combine garlic, lime and orange juices, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add pork and marinate, refrigerated, for up to 4 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe off any excess marinade from pork. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook on all sides until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and cook 12 minutes more. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into 1/8-inch slices.
-
Brush insides of each roll with 1 tablespoon butter. Layer 1 ounce of Swiss cheese on one of the cut sides of each roll. Top each with 6 ounces pork tenderloin, 2 ounces ham, 2 ounces pickle slices, and remaining ounce of cheese. Top with remaining halves of rolls. Brush top and bottom of rolls with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Heat a panini press to medium high and grill sandwiches until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Slice on the diagonal and serve immediately.
I think the ingredients in this sandwich is so good. You have added so much good to these sandwiches. The options are endless with this food. Great recipe here.

Making this recipe and tasting the results moved me to add a comment. These sandwiches tasted as great as they looked on the show! I plan to use them at our next buffet. Wonderful!
These are super easy and delicious. I found that we didn't need mustard or mayo. They're great without it. It was a good way to use up the leftover pork loin.
I don't have a panini grill, so I used my grill pan and weighted the sandwiches with my iron skillet. It worked like a charm. Put a piece of foil between the sandwich and the skillet.
didnt martha use mustard on the show? wheres the mustard?
equal mix of mayo and French's mustard makes a great dip and/or spread it on top of the warm sandwiches which I always cut diagonally into 3 or 4 pieces - makes it easier to pick up and eat (as many as you want).

You may want to try contacting some cuban stores/bakeris in Tampa, FL. This is where the Cuban sandwich originated. I lived there for a while, and if you can beleive it, even 7-11's carried Cuban sandwiches! :) I LOVE THEM!
