Fidel

1/2 k ground pork or beef
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium potatoes, diced in small pieces
1 small pack tomato sauce (preferably the sweet Filipino-style variety)
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 small pack mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 30 g pack of raisins
salt to taste
sugar to taste
3 eggs
5 pcs saba (cooking bananas), diced in small pieces
1/4 cup oil

Make some hardboiled eggs! The fool-proof way to do it is to take the eggs, cover with enough water, let the water boil - and once it does, turn off the heat and wait 20 minutes. Pefect hard boiled eggs all the time, except in high altitudes (best to let them simmer under low heat 20 minutes after boiling in that case). When cool, unshell the eggs and slice cross-wise, preferably with an egg slicer thinger.

Heat the oil and saute garlic and onions. Add the ground meat and allow to sear; cook until almost done. Add in the potatoes, mix well and lower heat. When potatoes are almost tender, pour in the tomato sauce and the soy sauce; season to taste. Add the mixed vegetables and the raisins, mix well, simmer for a few minutes and remove from heat.

While the meat is cooking, fry the diced banana in cooking oil, in batches, until golden brown and crunchy. Drain well and set aside.

Top the meat mixture with diced banana and serve with a side of hardboiled eggs. Viva a la Cubana!
