How to Make Arguiano's Arroz A La Cubana

  1. Prepare the tomato sauce: In a small saucepan, sauté 1 clove of minced garlic in 2 tablespoons (30g) of olive oil until fragrant. Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the rice: Rinse 1 cup (200g) of long-grain rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 2 cups (475ml) of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
  3. Fry the egg: Heat 1 tablespoon (15g) of olive oil in a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Gently crack 1 large egg into the pan and cook to your desired doneness. Use a skimmer to carefully remove the egg from the pan.
  4. Prepare the banana: Peel and slice 1 ripe banana into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  5. Assemble the dish: Spoon the cooked rice onto a plate. Top with the tomato sauce, the fried egg, and the banana slices. Optionally, add a plain, bun-less hot dog alongside.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
