[...] I have whipped up this dish countless times in the 6 months that I’ve made the kitchen my territory. It’s simple and one could do very little to sabotage it. Hahaha! It’s one of hubby’s favorite dishes…one that his paternal grandma, Lola Sion, used to make for him. Well, I could never compete with Lola Sion’s arroz a la cubana, or anybody’s lola for that matter! ;) But my most recent version of the dish just had hubby complimenting me to high heavens. ;) Credit goes to MarketMan whose version I followed, save for the ground pork (which I have ran out of) and addition of green peas. :) Thank you, MarketMan!

Our family in have the same preparation of Arroz ala Cubana the same cup molded rice surrounded with ground beef and pork in tomato sauce, but we add chorizo de bilbao, pimiento, and topped with fried eggs. It’s best eaten with fried danggit, misua soup w/ pork liver flavored in ginger and fried bananas for dessert. It’s a complete meal and so yummy.

OIC, didn’t know its origin and name! My wife have been cooking this with similar ingredients plus red bell pepper and calls it simply as “giniling”. Now, we can make it sound like a special dish when our kids are home!

Arroz a-la cubana was a Sunday treat for us while growing up. While living in Manila our mom would always have this meal at least once a month. Whenever we return to Manila to visit we still ask for this dish to be cooked with all the trimmings,chorizo bilbao, saging saba, shoestring potatoes and fried egg crisp on the sides. Memories of child hood at 55 years old.
