Create a super spread for your big game party

Bring Miami to your party with these Latin-inspired dishes

The big game is this weekend and Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace stopped by Live in the D to help you with ideas for a super spread that will win over fans in your home. Chef Pete Loren joined Jason Carr to highlight some delicious, Miami themed dishes in honor of where the Super Bowl will be played this Sunday.

Some options include spicy chicken enchiladas, mini Cuban sandwiches and caramel flan for dessert. Not only can you easily make these treats at home, but you can get many of these dishes at Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace pre-made, so all you have to do is heat and serve. There are four Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace locations, including St. Clair Shores, Troy, Bloomfield Township, and Clinton Township.

1. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add ham and pork slices, and cook each side until slightly browned then remove to a plate.

2. Butter cut sides of baguettes then place in the skillet, cut side down, for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove onto work surface.

3. Layer the bottom of the baguettes with pork, ham, then cheese and pickles. Cut, break or fold the ham, pork and cheese so they fit. Spread the cut side of the bun tops with mustard then place on the sandwich.

4. Butter the bottom AND top of the outside of the baguettes.

5. Heat skillet over medium high heat. Place the baguettes in the skillet, top with a sheet of baking paper then weigh it down with a heavy skillet or pot (use cans if necessary for extra weight so the sandwich compressed).
