  • I recently came across an interesting Cuban recipe — rice stewed Cuban-style. It's a rich, hearty, and delicious dish you can make on an ordinary weekday or for a celebration, and it doesn't take long. First, I boil the rice in plenty of water. I drain the cooked rice in a colander and rinse it with warm water, then transfer it to a greased baking dish, cover it tightly, and bake it in the oven. Meanwhile, I finely chop the onion, herbs, and garlic and sauté them in oil. I add finely chopped bell pepper, stir well, and fry again for five minutes over very low heat. Next, I mix the curry powder with the flour, add the lemon juice, the vegetables, and a little water, and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. I season with a little salt and pepper. Then I combine the spiny lobster meat with the crab, add them to the sauce, and simmer for 3–5 minutes. I take the rice out of the oven, turn it out of the dish, and set it on a large platter. I top the rice with the crab and lobster, the sauce, and fresh herbs. The result is a stunning dish. Enjoy!
