Three Guys From Miami: Cuban and Spanish Food Recipes
Glenn: Cubans have never been known for a great love of vegetables, especially the green ones.

Jorge: Root vegetables, such as yuca and malanga, are much bigger players in Cuban cuisine.

Raúl: Still, we did eat plenty of vegetables in Cuba -- especially salads.

Jorge: Here is one recipe where the lowly green bean is the star.
