My mom made the BEST spaghetti sauce. When we visited relatives back east the first thing she had to do was make a batch of her spaghetti sauce.
Unfortunately, this excellent recipe died with her in 2009. Unless my siblings are lying, nobody asked her for the recipe. I KNOW it’s laying around her someplace... my mission in life is to find it.
I know it involved lots of red wine.
I’ll look around and see what other mom’s recipes I can find when I get off work. She made a Cuban Chicken and Rice that is very unique...if you like citrus based sauce on chicken and rice. My favorite is black beans and rice, cubano style.
No, she/we aren’t Cuban, but I was born there and my parents lived there in the mid 50s as my dad played winter baseball in Havana.
I love Cuban food, although I have no Latin American or Spanish blood in me either. I would love it if you could post any of your Cuban recipes on the thread!
MY wife loves citrus sauces and chicken - please share a recipe or two.
“I know it involved lots of red wine”
Okay, just asking... did the wine go into the sauce or into the MOM? Either way sounds good to me. LOL
When my granny died, I hit the kitchen first and got her old red Betty Crocker cookbook and various bits of paper with her recipes. It heartwarming to be looking for a recipe and see her handwriting and smudged pages.
