Maybe I'm part Cuban...

No, I haven't started smoking cigars. In celebration of the "Lost" premiere this week, we decided to have some island food. It was an island medley, drawing on influences from all over. Our menu included...

Limeade mojitos...

plantain fritters drizzled with spicy mango sauce...

and the reason I think I might be Cuban...this panini. Ryan roasted pork tenderloin that he had seasoned with coriander, garlic, salt and pepper. The assembly of the Cuban was my contribution: thin sliced pork, two kinds of ham (serrano and smoked), swiss cheese, a homemade relish of sweet hot peppers and dill pickles...pressed between mustard slathered ciabatta bread. Crispy bread, gooey cheese, salty, sweet, and spicy...how delicious is that? Try it--and you may find your inner Cuban, too.


Happy Searching,
