Cuban brine

There are several cuban recipes I've learned to make exploring my Latin heritage. Here's one I'd like to share:-)

This is my take on a quick and easy recipe for cuban style black beans. It all comes together quickly and easily, with minimal prep work. Perfect for an easy, meatless meal.

This brine will infuse a delicious flavor in your turkey. It's really easy to make and is well worth it. Don't forget that your turkey roast is as good as your brine!

This recipe is originally made by Roy Choi and it was featured on the 2014 movie Chef. The recipe was adapted by Nagi from RecipeTin Eats but the original recipe called for a 1.75kg boneless pork shoulder. Roll the pork up and tie with a string to form a roll. Roast in a 220C oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 190C and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the middle reads 70C.

Add a few tablespoons to a slow cooked pork or chicken recipe. Add also to flavor a rice dish! Delicious Latin condiment!

Today I will share with you this recipe that Mercedes a Cuban lady told me how to prepare it. This is a recipe that deserves to be shared with everyone, it is very tasty and easy to prepare.It can be accompanied with rice and is an excellent combination for any type of meat.It is so delicious that once you prepare it you will adopt it as one of your favorite recipes.

Super yummy this sandwich was invented in the Florida Keys long ago by Cuban immigrants making sandwiches for workers to eat I grew up eating these sandwiches as a kid love them this sandwich can easily be shared

This brine will make your turkey extra moist. We tried the brining method a few years ago and haven’t looked back.The brine recipe is enough for a 16-24 pound turkey. I will be brining 16 pounds of turkey breast. The recipe is courtesy of Kikkoman soy sauce. The difficult part of this recipe is finding refrigerator space. I will add picture when I get the turkey in the brine.

This is a comforting, healthier version of chili. Warm spices, fresh vegetables make this a delicious meal. You may add any kind of chillies you like to add heat. You may leave out the olives but they add so much goodness. I hope you'll try this version. Enjoy!

This is the first recipe I created when I decided I was going to write a cookbook. I can't begin to explain my process about creating recipes or the inspiration. I have OCD and it's hard to explain lol

Recipe from my friend Rachel

This dish was served often for lunch at the Spanish elementary school my husband and I used to go to. The taste brings us back memories. Deep-fried bananas are served instead of wiener sausages in a regular recipe, but our school lunch was served with wiener sausages, so I copied it.Shallow-fry sunny-side up eggs rather than frying them in lots of oil. Oil splatters a lot, so please be careful not to get burnt! I recommend bringing eggs to room temperature in advance. Recipe by Bakaryau

served with rice or noodles or filling for stuffed potato balls

This dish is similar to the classic Cuban dish ... Arroz Con Pollo, but rather the rice (and beans) here are cooked separately. This is a recipe to get you comfortable with the dish before trying it out in a large pot, where the rice is cooked with the chicken in one pot and served family style.

This recipe was originally adapted by Nagi from RecipeTin Eats. But the originally recipe is from Roy Choi and was featured in the 2014 movie Chef.This is a great way to use up the Leftovers from the Mojo marinated Pork.

This brine was enough for a 21 and 13 lb turkey to fit in big steamer pot

This recipe works for anything that you want to pickle if you want spice with a touch of sweet for balance but not overboard like bread and butters. This recipe is for pint jars so adjust if doing larger batches. If you want mild leave out either the peppers or crushed red pepper. For non spicy leave it all out.Pictured is everything I have pickled so far.Asparagus with carrotsPickles with shallotsCauliflowerBrussel sproutsCarrotsGarlic: For the garlic I allow them to cool for the 24 hours and then put them in the fridge. I will allow to pickle for about a month before eating.

A little spicy with a hint of sweet, these authentic Cuban Empanadas will become your family favorite too.

I learnt about this recipe while I was on vacation beginning of this year in Cuba. Although Cuban food is supposed to be pretty bland in taste but this simple dish was just as delicious as it was attractive!!!!!

I love beer and I love chicken! Why not put them together? You won't regret it!

Ok, so we bought a turkey for Thanksgiving that wasn't brined, and decided it was necessary. We read a few recipes on ye olde interwebs and came up with this one. Recording it here in case we want to do it again. :-P

I have been doing this for years. It really does make a difference, no matter how you choose to cook it. Imparts a flavor that cannot be beat.
