Bocadito Elena Ruz
Hey everyone! Im not here right now, but at the sound of the beep...
Oh, wait; thats not right. Let me try again. Hey, everyone! Im not here right now. Im in Cuba! Yes, Cuba! For 2 weeks. In preparation for this momentous occasion I have made a few Cuban dishes which will, thanks to the miracle of modern computing, appear at intervals until I return; at least, thats the plan. Well see.
This one is a simple sandwich of cream cheese, strawberry preserves, and sliced cooked chicken or turkey on a plain white or slightly sweet sandwich bread (challah, for instance). It was invented in the 1930s at the request of a young Cuban socialite who would go seeking a late-night snack at one of Havanas trendy cafes. Its also very handy if you still have any leftover Christmas turkey around, and if you decide to put in cranberry sauce rather than strawberries preserves, well, it will be much less Cuban but perfectly tasty. Its traditionally toasted, but you dont have to. Its a sandwich, - a bocadito, - for heavens sake.
Anyway, a very happy new year to all, and Ill "see" you when I get back.
Last year at this time I made Carolines Low-Sugar Sweet Potato Cake.
