Boniatos marinated in mojo



Empanadas

Traditional Cuban cooking uses hints and blends of Spanish, Afro-Caribbean, Portuguese, French, Arabic and even Chinese culinary influences and techniques. This wide range of contributions makes Cuban dishes extremely unique and original, with many surprising and delicious flavors.Cuban cuisines are typically simple with several basic ingredients; A tomato-based sauce, black beans, root vegetables. Basic Cuban meals are stews,meat dishes, black beans, boniatos and yucas marinated in mojo (hot olive oil, lemon juice, sliced raw onions, garlic, cumin, and little water.)Our favorite meal was the boniatos marinated in mojo. Breakfast consists of toast (tostadas) dipped in white coffee, a combination of strong coffee and warm milk.Lunch and dinner, usually consist of a hearty spread, usually with dishes combining white rice, black beans and other legumes, meats and salads. My favorite meal was the empanadas which  a cuban sandwich.
