Arroz a la cubana

Arroz a la cubana ("Cuban-style rice") or arroz cubano is a rice dish popular in Spain, the Philippines, and parts of Latin America. Its defining ingredients are rice and a fried egg. A fried banana (plantain or other cooking bananas) and tomato sauce (sofrito) are so frequently used that they are often considered defining ingredients too. Despite the name, the dish does not exist in Cuban cuisine and its origins are not definitively known. It may possibly originate from a Spanish misinterpretation of common Cuban meals of eating rice with stews and a fried egg when Cuba was still a Spanish colony. In Spain, a typical dish of arroz a la cubana consists of a serving of white rice (which is sometimes shaped into small mounds using a glass), tomato sauce (sofrito) and a fried egg. While the most traditional recipe includes a fried plantain (plátano), it is also common to find the recipe using sausages and bacon. It is typical to cut and mix all the ingredients before eating, allowing the yolk of the egg to melt and combine everything well.
