Tuesday Tasting Cuba

Tonight we visit Cuba. Their food is yummy.
So tonight I create Moho chicken, Black beans, rice, and plantains oh so yummy.

Lets begin with the marinate for the chicken
1 large orange squeezed
1/2 of a lemon squeeze
a few good shakes of cumin
a pinch or two red pepper
2 gloves of garlic minced
Let this marinate for a few hours the grill it.

Black Beans
2 can of black beans any size can is fine
1 med to small onion
1 Cuban pepper roasted
salt pepper
sweet vinegar
a far amount of fresh garlic
Lets cook the beans begin by saute your onion, garlic and the roasted pepper. Get them nice and caramelized. Dumped your beans in with all the liquid plus 1/2 can of water. Add you seasoning the pepper salt cumin add the vinegar last. Bring to a boil and let cook on stove till your ready to serve.

Rice your going to use .a small short grain rice just follow the normal cooking direction. The needs to be plain it will detract from the flavor of the beans.

The chicken is going to be grilled until tender and moist. Now watch the chicken the acid in the orange will have broke the chicken down so cooking time might happen a little faster. When finished cut into small chunks.

Here is the presentation
Get a bowl add the rice first, the beans make sure you get some of that yummy liquids ,and then the chicken on top grab a spoon and the fun happen in your mouth. Well thank you for taking time to visit Estelle's Corner- That is how I cook for you fast and fun!
