Arroz a la Cubana (Filipino Vegan Recipe)
Instructions
Prep:15minCook:20min
The Filipino cuisine is heavily influenced by the Spanish after centuries of being under their rule and one of my favourite heavily Spanish-influenced Filipino dishes is Arroz a la Cubana, which is usually a meat-and-rice dish with a fried egg and fried saba or cardava bananas. This version is of course a Vegan Arroz a la Cubana made with extra firm tofu or tokwa for the protein! It also has some raisins for that extra bite of sweetness, some olives, and green peas.
