🇨🇺 Cuba recipe
Pan con Lechón
Pan con lechón is the ultimate Cuban pork sandwich, born from the leftovers of a celebration lechón asado. Succulent mojo-marinated roast pork is piled onto soft Cuban bread, topped with thinly sliced raw onion and a generous squeeze of lime, then pressed or eaten as is. Found at every roadside stand and ventanita in Cuba and Miami, it is the perfect expression of Cuban pork worship in handheld form.
