"This is a staple of Cuba and of course, now of Miami. When you are preparing this recipe be sure to remove any "woody" parts from the center. You can use the frozen yucca or cassava, in place of the fresh. Just follow the package directions but add salt and lime juice to either."

Ingredients: yucca root, fresh lemon juice...

"This is one Cuban snack that if you haven't tried it, you probably can't imagine what it is nor how it tastes! Instead of asking what the heck is it, here why not taste one? These can be made to a point ahead of time and frozen and they also make wonderful appetizers. Real comfort food! These have to be placed in the refrigerator for at least..."

"We usually eat this at Lila's Restaurant & it
served with julienned fried potato sticks, maduros(fried ripe plantains) and white fluffy rice, a Cuban regular with all meals. I ususally ask for tomato and avocado slices with my steak. Delish! Allow the meat to marinate in special mixture overnight. These make wonderful sandwiches and it..."

"This recipe works well with just about any type of fish filet. Leave skin on, it helps keep the filets from shrinking and will help keep the fish from sticking to the grill. The skin can easily be removed before serving or leave it on, either way it is good! Found this in "Three Men from Miami Cook Cuban" by Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay and..."

"A spicy, herbal oven-fried chicken to serve with rice and mojo. Mojo is a sauce used in many Latin countries. It is essentially a vinaigrette but the oil is heated before it's added, giving a more subtle flavour. Brown the chicken ahead of time and bake when needed. Thighs have the most flavour but breasts may be used. Bake breasts for 5 minutes..."

"This is another recipe that my friend Vicky Gomez gave me - it is for a type of meatloaf. She makes it by poaching it(wrapped in foil)and then serves it cold and sliced very thin on crackers or toasted pita or cocktail breads. I used most of her ingredients but instead of poaching it - I made it in the oven. We use this as an appetizer or canapés..."

"My take on Cuban-style black bean soup"

Ingredients: cumin, fresh ground black pepper...

"My whole family loves this meal. Mix the leftovers together and use as a filling for fried burritos. Just place a scoop of warmed, mixed beans and rice in the middle of a large tortilla, sprinkle a handle of Daiya Cheddar Shreds (vegan) on the "flap" of the burrito. Roll it up so that the part with the cheese is the last section to be..."

Ingredients: cumin, green peppers, limes...

"Lean pork, fresh sweet potatoes, canned black beans and traditional Cuban flavors blend beautifully in your slow cooker to provide you with a healthy, easy weeknight meal that's special enough for company. If you are afraid of too much heat, use only one can of Rotel and substitute a can of diced tomatoes for the second can."
