A classic Cuban sandwich recipe calls for roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on pillowy Cuban bread. If you're in Tampa, salami goes in there too. The sandwich is often pressed in a plancha (Spanish for "cooking plate"), to make the outside hot and crispy and the cheese melted and gooey.

A paste made from finely ground sesame seeds, tahini is a rich, creamy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern condiment that can be used in a plethora of ways, from being incorporated into dressings and sauces to dips and desserts. But even with its high versatility and numerous health benefits, it remains an underrated ingredient in Western cultures overall. It's not hard to imagine that a jar of the stuff sits around untouched in people's fridges with only a small portion put to use. So if your tahini is only utilized here and there for a recipe or two, that begs the question of how long the rest will stay good.
