2 large green peppers
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 small roma tomatoes chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil for frying (some also use lard)
4 cups of rice
3 cups ham broth
1 cup white wine
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon Bijol Powder
5 cans Vienna sausage links, sliced in half
Optional: green and black pitted olives
Sauté the green peppers and onion in olive oil or lard until limp. Add the garlic cloves and fry an additional minute or two. Add the chopped tomatoes and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Place this vegetable mixture into a large covered pan. Add the rice, ham broth, tomato sauce, wine, and sausage links. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let simmer until the rice is cooked, approximately 20-30 minutes.

Ingredients
Rice with Vienna Sausage

Jorge: There have been many influences on Cuban cuisine and Cuban culture.

Glenn: These include Spanish, of course, but also African, indigenous natives, French, and Haitian.

Jorge: Many people forget the strong influence of Cuba's neighbor to the North, the United States.

Glenn: The American influence has been evident throughout Cuba's history, with the peak in the 1950s. American culture brought to Cuba cakes, and queso americano, and pan molde (American white bread), and SPAM -- just to name a few.

Raúl: Another popular import was the Vienna sausage, the wieners in a can that you have probably eaten at parties.

Glenn: The Cubans took this American favorite and gave it a delicious twist with rice. I've never been a big fan of those little cocktail weenies, but this dish is very good! You'll be surprised how good a Vienna sausage can taste!

This painting represents the dual culture of Cuban-Americans here symbolized by both the traditional espresso coffee pot -- for those cafe con leches -- and the ubiquitous American drip coffee maker, which is found in offices, work sites, and most American homes.

Tony has sold many of these at art shows around Florida. It is especially popular with Cuban-Americans who live this dual culture. Also a great gift for Cubans married to Americans!
