Discovering the Delicious Flavors of Cuban Cuisine!  Top Traditional Dishes

Cuba’s gastronomy has its origins firmly rooted in Spanish cuisine, African culinary customs, and the traditional dishes of the Taino Indians, the first inhabitants of the island.

Since I’ve been to Cuba for the first time, I’ve fallen deeply in love with the local food traditions. This is why I want to give you an overview of my absolute favorite dishes that you have to try while you are in Cuba.

ROPA VIEJA

One of the most popular dishes in Cuban cuisine. It is a Spanish legacy that has managed to position itself among the most requested by the island’s residents.

CUBAN-STYLE BLACK BEANS

This dish, which is basically made with salt, pepper, and olive oil, also contains brown sugar and a touch of dry wine.

CHILINDRÓN DE CHIVO

This dish has its origins in the Far East, from there to Spain and, during the time of the conquest, it arrived in Cuba where native ingredients were added.

ARROZ CONGRÍ

The favorite dish in Cuba to commemorate any of the island’s festivities, meetings or family celebrations.

FRICASE DE POLLO

One of the most sought-after by the French monarchy, is prepared with chopped chicken seasoned with salt, dry wine, garlic cloves, sour orange juice, paprika, onion, and tomato puree.
