Cuban Recipes

Cuban cooking is soulful, unfussy, and built around a small number of foundational techniques and ingredients used brilliantly. Sofrito — a slow-cooked base of onion, garlic, tomato, and green pepper — is the starting point for ropa vieja (shredded braised beef), picadillo (spiced ground meat), and arroz con pollo. Black beans cooked with cumin and bay until creamy, fried plantains, and white rice are the universal accompaniment, while the Cuban sandwich (pressed with ham, roasted pork, Swiss, and pickles) has conquered the world.
