Method

Step 1. Prepare the chopped ham component of the sandwich by heating a non stick pan to medium high heat, add chopped ham and saute until beginning to warm through. Add ground coriander, cumin, garlic, chipotle, orange juice stir well to combine. Increase heat slightly and once hot add the Capilano honey. Cook until the juice has evaporated and the chopped ham is sticky and golden. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. 

Step 2. Assemble the sandwich starting with a base layer of yellow mustard and swiss cheese slices, top with sliced ham, followed by the spiced chopped honey ham, topped with dill pickle slices and a scaping of mayonnaise on the top of the bun. 

Step 3. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Brush tops of bread with melted butter, place the sandwiches top down and using a weight of some kind (fish weight, another pan) cook until roll is crisp and bar marks show on bread, brush base of bread with butter, flip and cook on the base until cheese is melted. Serve warm and enjoy 

Notes
* The best section of the ham for this dish is the part around the hock, dig in there to get the good stuff and make sure nothing goes to waste!
* Cuban rolls are obviously quite hard to find in Australia, so as an alternative use small Turkish rolls.

Ingredients 

4 fresh sub rolls or mini baguettes

60g fresh rocket leaves 

200g provolone, sliced

500g beef mince 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

1 large egg 

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Sauce 

1 brown onion, diced 

4 cloves garlic, sliced  

700g passata 

2 tsp dried oregano 

2 tsp chilli flakes

Add the fresh basil and stir through.

Step 4. To assemble, set the oven to grill on high heat. Place the rolls on a tray and make a long slice in the rolls without cutting all the way through. Spoon a generous amount of sauce on each roll and add 3 meatballs. Top with a little more sauce and thin slices of provolone. Place under the grill to melt the cheese.
