CUBAN SALAD
Cuban salads typically are refreshing, yet uncomplicated, and they're always a nice addition to what often can be a heavy Cuban meal. Served with a loaf of crusty Cuban bread isn't a bad idea either!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C, and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the pork marinade ingredients (olive oil, orange juice, lime, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper).
- Place the pork tenderloin on the baking sheet, and pour the marinade over the pork so it's well coated.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C.
- Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes then transfer to a cutting board and slice into ¼ inch thin slices.
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise. If using a large loaf, then cut in halves to make a total of 4 sandwiches.
- Layer half of the cheese over the bottom piece of the bread, followed by ham, pork, pickles, and the remaining cheese.
- Over the top pieces of bread, spread mustard, and cover the sandwiches.
- In a skillet/pan, melt the butter, place one or two sandwiches in the pan, and press down with something heavy (cast iron pan). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the cheese has melted and the bread is lightly golden. Repeat the same process with the rest of the sandwiches.
- Cut the sandwiches in half, and serve with potato chips.

PAN CUBANO
This is a recipe from Cocina Cubana/ Sonia Martinez/ Pascual Perez. I have not tried this recipe. I am adding it to 'zaar because there have to uses for sourdough starter besides traditional sourdough and Amish Friendship Bread. I doubt that I will ever use the lard, which is recommended for authentic flavor. My bread machine makes sourdough starter, so I am hoping to play with this recipe on the bread machine. If I can figure out a bread machine version, then I'll add that, too. Note: Preparation time does not include the development time to make the starter, which is at least 24 hours. Also, if you've never made starter, I recommend you research a little bit. It's not difficult but there are a couple rules for success.

Steps:
- STARTER: The day before baking, dissolve the yeast in warm water in a nonreactive bowl. Add flour. You want a thick paste when you add the flour. Cover bowl with plastic wrap (punch a couple air holes) and place in refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Leftover starter can be left in the refrigerator or frozen. (You will need to maintain starter if you are going to keep it; there are several zaar recipies that describe sourdough starter care.).
- DOUGH: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a large mixing bowl. When the mixture is foamy (5 to 10 minutes), mix in the lard/ shortening, remaining water and starter (remember, it's 1/2 cup of starter and not the entire volume that you made the day before).
- Mix well with your fingers or a wooden spoon. Stir in salt and flour, 1 cup at a time. You want to get a dough that is stiff enough to knead. You can also mix and knead in a mixer fitted with a dough hook or in a food processor fitted with the double blade (the processor hook will not handle this job easily).
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes, adding flour as necessary. The dough should be pliable and not sticky.
- Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let warm, draft-free spot until it doubles its bulk, about 45 minutes. Punch down.
- To form the loaves, divide the dough in 4 pieces. Roll out each piece to form a 14-inch long tube, with rounded ends (sort of like a long meat loaf).
- Put 2 of the loaves per baking sheet, each loaf about 6 inches apart on the sheet. Cover with dampened cotton dish towel and let rise in warm, draft-free spot until double their bulk, about 1 hour. If you want it to rise at a slower pace, you can put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lay a piece of dampened thick string or twine (about 1/8" thick) all along the top of the loaf. Bake until the loaves are lightly browned on the top and sound hollow when lightly tapped, about 30 minutes.
- Remove loaves from oven and let cool slightly. Remove the strings. They will leave a distinct little ridge on top. Transfer loaves to a wire rack for cooling.
