Publish date: 2024-08-04

Cuban Independence Day is May 20, so we picked through our Recipe Finder to find Cuban and Cuban-inspired recipes fit for celebration.

Sopa de Frijoles (Traditional Black Bean Soup). This dish is thick, meatless and satisfying. If you can, make it tonight; the flavor improves after a rest in the refrigerator.

Shrimp Creole (Camarones Enchilados), pictured above. A blend of Cuban with Creole traditions. You'll have extra stock left over, which can be frozen for up to one month.

Cuban-Style Chicken and Rice (Arroz Con Pollo). If you don't like shrimp, then try the Cuban twist on the dish popular throughout Latin America.
