I finally made and took a photo of this easy dish, good as a quick lunch and which kids love.

I used brown rice today so that did take a little longer.

Arroz A La Cubana - Cuban Rice

I was never sure if this really originated in Cuba. But it's a very simple dish which I used to see in Mallorca in small family restaurants and still see today on restaurant menus. I also made it when my girls were small.

For three people:

3 ripe bananas

3 eggs

rice - three servings

tomato sauce or puré - about 1 cup (I use the Spanish

- fried tomato sauce which comes in a small tin or box)

S & P

oil or butter

1) Boil the rice until tender in salted water. Drain.

2) Split the bananas lengthwise and sauté gently in butter or oil.

3) Heat the tomato sauce.

4) Fry the eggs in butter or oil keeping yolks runny.

5) Arrange the rice in the centre of each plate, with a banana half on each side, cover the rice with an egg and pour sauce over top. Add salt & pepper.

Poached eggs instead of fried are also good.
