Cuban Feast on a Plate

Sean visits three homes to see the feast come together with a menu including roasted pig with an orange marinade, cooked in a curiously named, ‘China Box’ - a special portable oven Anerys imported from Florida.  Martha cooks, congri (sticky rice with black beans), stuffed potato balls are made along with Margarita’s special rice pudding and everyone’s favourite, tamales. Nobody will be left hungry or disappointed. 

Mandaean Spiced Duck

Fingers holding knife carving Mandaean Duck

Duck or besha  is a favourite of the Mandaean community.  They cook it in a way that is quite different to other nations, even the Iraqis and it is eaten sometimes several times a week.  This method of boiling the duck in spices and dried limes provides a rich tangy soup to start a meal.
