Take a culinary tour of Cuba through four courses of traditional island fare interpreted with contemporary flare by Thank Goodness It’s Sofia, co-creators of Stripe Café at Palos Verdes Art Center.
CUBAN FRITA
Accompanied with Yucca Chips with Sea Salt
The classic Cuban hamburger adds sweet and spicy accents
to the American standard with a blend of ground beef and pork,
topped with a crown of crispy shoestring potato fries
CUBAN ROPA VIEJA
Braised Shredded Brisket and Vegetables in a Savory Tomato Base
Over Morros y Cristianos with a Plantain Accent
One of the national dishes of Cuba,
this hearty beef stew is slow-cooked with
a medley of herbs, vegetables and a dash of wine,
served over black beans and white rice.
CUBAN CARVERY
FIRE-ROASTED MOJO CHICKEN DRUMSTICK WRAPPED IN BACON
or CUBAN LECHON
Served with
Cuban Green Salad of Shredded Lettuce, Diced Tomatoes,
Pickled Red Onion, Black Beans & Grilled Corn
Finished with a White Balsamic Vinaigrette
No Cuban feast is replete without Lechon, pork slow-roasted with garlic and herbs.
The heart of island cuisine is mojo, a marinade and finishing sauce made of
sour oranges and Chef’s favorite spices.
DESSERT
WARM BANANA RUM BREAD PUDDING
Topped with Dolce de Leche Ice Cream
A sweet ending follows a savory trio.
