I had just seen the film "Chef" with my family, and the three of us felt a huge desire to take one of those Cubans sandwich prepared in the film, so as soon as we got home I put my hands to work reading and re-reading recipes and recipes that looked so good. As always I caught something from here and there and I ended up with my personal version. The result is this: a sandwich that will make you loose your mind! S I was so excited that I ended up making a list in my profile of Spotify, I called it: Heart & Soul in my kitchen and if you click on it, you will get much rhythm in the kitchen... as much as I do!
