Arroz a la Cubana Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Arroz a la Cubana is a popular dish in Spain. The Spanish version is made-up of white rice, fried egg, and tomato sauce. It does not include any meat at all. Filipino Arroz a la Cubana Recipe is more festive because it has fried bananas and ground meat along with rice and fried eggs. The additional ingredients make the Filipino version distinctive.

Arroz-a-la-Cubana-7

This Arroz a la Cubana Recipe will produce a nice tasting ground meat dish that goes well with bananas and egg. Arroz a la Cubana can be eaten as a heavy breakfast (and I really mean heavy because you have both bananas and rice) or lunch. You can try to have this for dinner, but you will need to delay your sleep time for a couple of hours or wait until the food is fully digested, at least.

I find it best to use “saging na saba” for this Arroz a la Cubana Recipe instead of relying with plantains. Filipino Saba Banana has this distinctive sweetness. In addition, “saging na saba” is meat for frying as evidenced by its nice texture. Sometime I even sprinkle a little sugar on top of the fried bananas to adjust the taste to my preference.

    This dish is so delicious! i followed your recipe and my Arroz a la Cubana turned out great! i did not put any rice because i dont normally eat rice. The taste of the fried banana and the eggs really goes well with the meat.
