ALBONDIGAS - CUBAN MEATBALLS



Albondigas - Cuban Meatballs image

This is a recipe "By Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban" that I adapted a tiny bit. Here is what they state: "Giant Cuban meatballs that put many Italian meatballs to shame!" I can't wait to try this version of meatballs, sounds delicious!! I am posting this for ZWT 9, so untried by me at this time.

CUBAN-STYLE MEATBALLS WITH BLACK BEANS AND RICE



Cuban-Style Meatballs with Black Beans and Rice image

Another keeper said my family. I found this in a cook book awhile back called Three Guys. The black beans and rice are the perfect compliment. You can also serve with plain white rice if you prefer. Add some bread on the side and you have an authentic Cuban dinner.
