What sets Moros y Cristianos apart is the handling of slow-roasted pork. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the savoury and deeply satisfying result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. Cuban cuisine reflects Spanis…

I had never tried Moros y Cristianos before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect.
