Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences. It is characterized by the use of flavorful spices, fresh herbs, and tropical fruits. Cuban cuisine is also known for its use of slow-cooking techniques, resulting in dishes with complex flavors and tender meats.
Traditional Cuban dishes include ropa vieja (shredded beef in tomato sauce), lechón asado (roast pork), and arroz con pollo (chicken with rice). These dishes are often served with black beans, rice, and plantains.
