Cuban cuisine
Ropa vieja's tradition
Cuban cuisine is the traditional cooking of Cuba, characterized by Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences.
The food emphasizes rice, black beans, pork, plantains, and citrus marinades.
Dishes like ropa vieja, moros y cristianos, and lechón asado are staples.
Cuban cuisine favors slow-cooked meats, garlic, cumin, and oregano over the intense heat found in other Caribbean cooking.
