Arroz a la Cubana

Arroz a la Cubana is a Spanish dish consisting of white rice, fried egg, fried bananas and tomato sauce and does not include meat. The Filipino version of arroz a la cubana is quite distinctive because it contains sauteed ground meat usually pork and beef. This is a really nice and complete meal which you can eat during breakfast which is a bit heavy and also you can eat it for lunch or dinner. You can use plantain or saba bananas, but I think saba is more preferable.

To cook arroz ala cubana; Sauté the garlic, sliced tomato and onions in oil. Then add the ground beef and pork until slightly brown and cooked. Add the other ingredients, raisins, pepper and salt. In a plate arrange the molded rice in a circular fashion and put the cooked meat in the center. Garnish with bananas, sweet potatoes and fried egg on top.
