Elena Ruz Sandwiches image

As a child I was told that this sandwich was invented by a young society gal in Havana, Cuba. The story goes that one late night after dancing for hours at a party she stopped at an all-night cafe and asked if the chef would prepare a sandwich to her specifications. When they agreed, this is what she asked for and after that it...

ELENA RUZ SANDWICH (CUBAN TURKEY SANDWICH)



Elena Ruz Sandwich (Cuban Turkey Sandwich) image

This is a strange combination, but trust me, it is very good! The story goes that Elena Ruz, a society young socialite for which the sandwich is named, would stop at this little all-night restaurant, El Carmelo, in Vedado neighborhood in Havana Cuba, after leaving the dance with her group of friends. She asked the waiter if he could fix her this sandwich after she told them how to make it. After that she would always ask for the Elena Ruz Sandwich and to this day that is how the sandwich is known. This recipe has been printed on many of the Cuban Food web sites. It is great for leftover turkey. Update 03/13/2006 you can also use sweet rolls(the kind you use for a media noche). However, the real McCoy is white bread without crusts and lightly toasted and then the cream cheese would be spread, then the turkey and strawberry jelly on the other slice and voila!

ELENA RUZ SANDWICH



Elena Ruz Sandwich image

During the late 1920s or early 1930s, the Cuban socialite Elena Ruz Valdés-Fauli asked for a sandwich with turkey, strawberry preserves and cream cheese in a soft medianoche roll at El Carmelo restaurant in Havana. The sandwich was an original request - it didn't yet exist on menus in Cuba - but it eventually became something of a beloved national dish. Like other popular Cuban dishes, it combines the sweet and the salty. Some Cuban chefs say that it lends itself to adaptation and experimentation with other jams and sandwich meats. It's best enjoyed with plantain chips and a Cuban soda, such as Materva or Ironbeer.

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Cuban medianoche roll or a brioche hot dog roll (5 to 6 inches long)
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened, plus more as needed
3 1/2 ounces sliced turkey breast
1 1/2 tablespoons strawberry preserves, plus more as needed (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Slice or split the bread roll in half to fill as a sandwich. Spread a 1/3-inch-thick layer of cream cheese on the bottom half. Lay turkey neatly on top of the cream cheese. Do not overfill the sandwich. Evenly spread jam on the top half of the bread and sandwich with the bottom.
  • In a pan over medium-low heat, melt butter, swirling to evenly coat the pan. Place the sandwich bottom side down in the pan and press it with a spatula or a cast-iron skillet. Heat to warm the sandwich, until the bottom is lightly toasted but not burned, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the sandwich and repeat with the other side. Remove from the heat, cut the sandwich in half at an angle and serve immediately.
