Ham snack paste

Aperitif Snack

Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Note:
This Cuban snack paste will save you during snacks, appetizers, and any celebration. If you are an immigrant, your guests will love it, even your children, who probably don’t know it or don’t remember it, and it will bring you pleasant memories of Cuba.
Ingredients:

175 grams of cream cheese

220 grams of canned pork lean meat or pork chopped (also called cold cuts or spam)

2 large tablespoons of mayonnaise

2 pickled cucumbers (optional)

Instructions:

This delicious and nutritious snack paste consists of mixing all the ingredients and then, according to individual taste, adding a more acidic or salty touch.

First, the chosen piece of ham is crushed with a hand grinder, blender, or meat grinder. It is poured into a dish, and cheese, mayonnaise, and pickles chopped into small pieces are added. From this moment on, it is mixed with a fork. It is not necessary to use an electric mixer again. If we want, we can add a pinch of salt. As the mixture is blended, we can decide if we want to add a little more mayonnaise if we prefer it to be more liquid and yield more. Some people add a touch with a splash of mustard.

That's it! Help yourself to small, soft rolls, like Cuban bites or with cookies.
