Cuban Sandwich Stuffed Pickles

My mind always seems to wonder everywhere but what I'm supposed to be doing most of the time. For some reason it wondered off into cuban sandwich territory. My brain then pondered if I could put a cuban sandwich inside a pickle. I couldn't find anything online for such a recipe. So I was on my own. I started with a pork tenderloin. Seasoned and smoked on the egg. While the tenderloin was smoking my wife and I cored out some pickles. We also diced ham, swiss cheese and salami while the pork was on the egg. Once the pork was done we diced it as well and stuffed the pickles. We used a mustard dressing called Goddess from Trader Joes for the mustard. It actually tastes like a Cuban sandwich when all said and done! I will be doing these at a local eggfest this weekend. Definitely wanted to try these out before heading up north for the fest. Green light!!!

Wow! That would have solved my problem of finding Cuban bread this past weekend. Very creative.

That's great!
I love pickles (and subsequently, Cuban sandwiches).
How easy are they to eat? Does the outside of the pickle get tough when you cook it?
Great stuff. Great idea! Your time was much better spent procrastinating with this idea then whatever you were supposed to be doing.

That is genius. I like your home made popper rack.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Those look awesome. I think I would like to slice them and put them on bread.

@SmokeyPitt Thanks! One of those jalapeño racks would have come in handy. Muffin pan should work if you were to place them side by side and upright"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

@cook861 I was little worried the pickle flavor would over power the other ingredients but was presently surprised that was far from the truth."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan
