Cuban Breakfast Recipe
This isn’t your typical Cuban breakfast. A typical Cuban breakfast consists of espresso with milk (cafe con leche) with toast (pan tostado).
Instead I am about to take your taste buds on an exciting journey with this culinary creation. It's a fusion of flavors you might not expect, bringing together the richness of Italian sausage and the vibrant Cuban culinary tradition.
Imagine waking up to an irresistible aroma filling your home, a scent that lured me into the kitchen one memorable morning. It was the beginning of a love affair with a breakfast that would soon become a cherished dinner option.
What's exceptional about this dish is its versatility. While it's perfect for a hearty breakfast, its true magic lies in slow simmering. As it gently cooks, the sausage transforms into tender perfection. This makes it ideal for preparing in advance, or you can even double the batch and freeze part for later.
Just as I've mentioned before, the foundation of this recipe begins with the aromatic sofrito, a combination of sautéed onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Then, we infuse it with tomato sauce and a medley of seasonings, creating a symphony of flavors. It's the same foundation that gives life to another Cuban classic,
Chicken Fricassee (Fricase de Pollo).
