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.

hi MM! i followed your version when i made this dish about two weeks ago…only i didn’t have ground pork and my husband and daughter aren’t fond of green peas, so no green peas. :D at any rate, my regular customers (hubby and daughter) loved it! you might want to take a look if you’re not too busy: https://munchkincafe.thesserie.com/2007/11/14/arroz-a-la-cubana/

Ay Brenda,totoo ka. Hahaha…. Ted, simple lang ano?

But it’s real nice to know of the many variations of this dish. I use cumin as well or whatever suits my fancy, or whatever may be available.

Thanks guys, MM, for sharing your wonderful takes on this dish! Good morning.

We call this dish picadillo at the evening meal and tortang picadillo following morning when there’s left overs ;-)

I put some sesame oil on mine, it makes it more flavorful. One of the faves in the family. With diced carrots, potatoes and red bell pepper, looks nice & kids eat the veggies.
