Cuban Sandwich

"Oh cool! I had never had one until I made it myself. Now, I can 't make enough of them. Friends and family love them. I used olive oil to press them. Butter sounds delicious too! Thanks for the wonderful comment."

Cuban Sandwich

"This is the Cuban Sandwich I know...some people argue that it should have mayo in it...but I am not sure if that is the traditional way to do it. I use butter to press it...but no mayo."

Cuban Sandwiches

I have been wanting to try a Cuban sandwich for some time now. It's impossible to get one in the area I live in, without having to make a day trip out of it. So, I decided to make one myself. The results were FABULOUS! BIG, BIG HIT with friends and family! So I googled anauthentic Cuban sandwich then set out to make it. I remembered a fabulous recipe for pernil in my Daisy Martinez cookbook that would be perfect. I bought the porkroast and marinated it for 2 days. I used Daisy Martinez's can't…See More

Arroz con Gandules

Posted on June 26, 2010 at 3:30pm 0 Comments

Last night I made arroz con gandules with maduros and a side salad. I used a banana leaf on top of the rice mixture and then put the lid on top. If you've never cooked with a banana leaf before, I hope you try it. The smell that permeates the air is wonderful and lets you know that whatever you're cooking will be DELICIOUS!



I didn't grow up eating Puerto Rican food. I have just recently discovered within the last six years that I love it! I like to make different dishes and challenge… Continue
