Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Cuba

Ask what Cuba eats and the answer starts with this: spanish-African criollo cooking: mojo-marinated roast pork, black beans, fried plantains, and rum cocktails. Look for Ropa vieja (shredded beef braised with tomato, peppers, olives), Lechón asado (mojo-marinated pork slow-roasted for family gatherings) and Moros y cristianos (black beans and rice cooked together). Shredded beef in tomato sofrito, brought from Spain by way of the Canary Islands; the name means old clothes, describing the frayed meat. This atlas has 54 Cuba dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
