This is a simple, but satisfying popular Cuban dish. I like it because it’s easy to prepare and tastes brilliant. The flavors of this dish are incredibly intense and rich. You’ll just have to go and make it yourself to see what I mean. You’ll love every bite of this dish, I promise. What an interesting combination of flavors! You would not have thought to combine olives and raisins in the same dish. Looks fantastic!
