Question

What kind of ingredients do i need to make a cuban meal?

Answer 1

Chicken, pork, lobster, fish and, to a lesser degree, beef and lamb are traditional Cuban meat staples.

Black beans, rice, yuca (cassava), malanga (sweet potato), boniato (yam) and plátanos (plantains) are the leading legumes and starches.

Basically a combination of Spanish, African and Caribean Traditions.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Just about every single Cuban dish has cumin, lime or lemon juice, tomato sauce, garlic, onions, green bell pepper, and dry white cooking wine in it.

Cubans eat a ton of pork, and "lechon" (roast leg of pork) is at the top of the list.

There are dishes made with beef, too, like "picadillo" (ground beef), and "ropa vieja" (made from pulled flank steak).
