I first had this served over egg noodles, but served with rice is just as nice. This recipe was introduced to me by a Cuban friend when I was seven years old. To this day, (twenty years later), it remains one of my favourites. Don’t be frightened by this seemingly strange combination of ingredients; this is brilliant! The nice thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t require any measurements. You use an equal amount of each ingredient, so it’s infinitely scalable!
