This website has offered some of the
best recipes from Cuba since 2001, and many people email me wanting
to know what types of Cuban meals are the most traditional.
For starters, you have Moros y Cristianos
(Black beans and rice), which is one of the more common dishes.
A classic traditional Cuban dish is Arroz con Pollo (yellow rice with
chicken), another one is Ropa Vieja (a shredded beef), and my
favorite are Cuban Sandwiches. Students always email me asking
what they can cook for a class project on Cuban food, Cuban
Sandwiches are safe bet because they're easy to make, and they taste
great! You'll also want to have some
Mariquitas
on hand, fried plantain slices dripping with mojo sauce.
If you're looking for food to serve at a
traditional Cuban party, drinks should include refreshing
Mojitos. The main course
would include a large roasted
pig. Some people build their own pig roasting grill in their
backyard, but let me tell you, that's a LOT of work. I send my
friends to a website that sells a
real-deal caja china (Cuban pig roaster),
Click
Here to see one of them available for sale on the Cuban Food Market
website. If you don't have the means of doing a backyard pig roast,
try cooking up a
Roast
Suckling Pig (10 lbs) in the oven.
