My husband does get the opportunity to cook in our kitchen, he has two resources that he relies on the most, his mother & the Food Network. He called his mom for this recipe and he tweaked it to his own liking as well. He picked this cuban dish because it has great flavor, its’ great for crowds, and tastes even better the next day. We all loved it, and hopefully our cousin, can now make it in her own little kitchen. Enjoy!
