Ham bite-sized pastry

Aperitif Snack

Aperitivo Bocadillo translates to "Snack Appetizer."

Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Note:
This Cuban snack paste will save your snacks, appetizers, and any celebration. If you're an immigrant, your guests will love it, even your children, who may not know it or remember it, and it will bring you fond memories of Cuba.
Ingredients:

175 grams of cream cheese

220 grams of canned pork loin or pork chop (also known as cold cuts or spam)

2 large tablespoons of mayonnaise

2 pickles (optional)

Instructions:

This delicious and nutritious snack paste involves mixing all the ingredients together and then adjusting the flavor to your preference by adding a touch more acidity or saltiness.

First, the chosen piece of ham is finely chopped using a hand grinder, blender, or meat grinder. Once this is done, it is poured into a dish where cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped pickles are added. From this point on, the mixture is blended with a fork. There's no need to use an electric mixer again. If desired, a pinch of salt can be added. As the mixture comes together, you can decide whether to add a little more mayonnaise if you prefer it to be creamier and more abundant. Some people like to add a splash of mustard for an extra kick.

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