Arroz a la Cubana

With Daniele in Japan, I had the opportunity to specialize in "meals for one". I enjoy cooking, but mostly when there are others around to eat my food. First of all, because I like someone else to taste my product, but also because it simply doesn't make sense to cook a difficult or time consuming meal for one person.

But, this meal is simple and still tasty, and in fact, was one of my Spanish host mom's specialties when I lived in Spain.

To make it, slice and fry a plantain in some olive oil. At the same time, cook a serving or two of white rice, heat up one can of tomato puree. You can use some red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to season the tomato puree if you prefer. Finally, fry two eggs.

On a plate, add the rice, top with tomato sauce and eggs, and eat the plantains on the side. Simple, and yet, nice for something different and good for a nice, vegetarian meal.
