Can't say that I do. There's obviously going to be small Latin grocery stores or taquerias that opens early, but if any of my buddies at breakfast at one, they aren't mentioning it to me.

OK its still a work in progress, but I think I am on to something. It the best thing I've found so far.



Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Fig glaze

1 pork tenderloin trimmed and cut into 1” medallions
1/4-cup butter
1-1/2 cups fig preserves/one fig per medallion
Salt and black pepper and red pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
1/4-cup flour
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 small onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup Burgundy wine


In a heavy-bottomed sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Season medallions lightly with salt, pepper, red pepper and granulated garlic. Lightly dust in flour and sauté medallions in butter until golden brown on both sides, 1-2 minutes each side, but do not burn butter. Move medallions to one side of skillet, and then add onions, minced garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes or until onions are wilted. Pour in Burgundy to deglaze pan and reduce to 1/4 cup, turning the medallions occasionally. Add fig preserves, Adjust seasonings to taste with salt, pepper and red pepper. Sauce should be a little syrupy and a little spicy. Serve medallions hot and top with figs.

For Cuban sanwhiches, I marinate mine and bake it:
2 tbls orange juice
1 tbls lime juice
garlic
cumin
salt/pepper

I marinate it overnight, then bake it at 350 for about 15 min on each side, take it out, tent it with foil for about 5 min, then slice for sandwhiches

Mix fresh garlic, salt, cumen, pepper and lime juice in the cuisinarte, then slowly add olive oil while keeping it mixing - then you stir that into some mayo to spread on the bread - add the pork, some sliced ham, swiss cheese, japs and pickles - then put in a sandwhich press - brush the bread with butter first - yummy.

Yes! This was on here a while back and I tried it (plus I rubbed it down w/ olive oil and sea salt and black pepper). Very good.

You have almost got a mojo sauce going there which is how I do my cuban sandwich...see below

Notes: Mojo is Cuba's national table sauce. In its authenticity it is made using the naranja agria or sour orange, this is a fruit that looks like a green bumpy orange but tastes more like a lime. If you can't get to your local Hispanic market, limes make an acceptable substitute. Mojo is great on Cuban pork sandwiches and also on grilled meats and fish.

1/3 cup olive oil
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2/3 cup fresh sour orange juice (see note)
salt and fresh ground pepper

1. Heat olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook till fragrant and lightly toasted BUT NOT BROWN, about 30 seconds.

2. Add juice, cumin, and salt and pepper. Bring sauce to rolling boil and remove from heat.

I make the best Cuban Sandwich in Louisiana

Whenever I would have a lot of company, I'd also serve Cuban sandwiches or medianoches, moros y cristianos, platano maduros and a nice cup of Cuban coffee to end the meal.

Nothing beats the real deal at El Aljibe restaurant in Havana, though. They have a signature chicken dish that everyone's obligated to try, an awesome meal with black beans and rice.
